I still think it's larger, because ther's that area on right side of the K2
finder where the exposure (sh.speed) info is - but that area is TRANSPARENT
(it's just black numbers and two needles) so you actually see through it,
unlike leds on newer cameras (but ít's pain to see in the dark! I do lot of
concerts, I know it very well ;( . So perhaps the "How to select..." book
did not take this transparent area into account.
