I certainly hope that it has a full-size mirror and prism. That would mean that you see more in the viewfinder than the ccd covers, giving a view similar to that of a rangefinder. Since there's a film version of this camera, chances are they are the same. j -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juan J.
