That's right. Works great for my SONY. I hardly ever think of the "missing" viewfinder anymore. It works great - and even enlarges the image center for manual focusing.

Might not be the greatest thing to manual focus with but it would be better than using it like range-finder IMO. -That Guy -----Original Message----- From: William Robb [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 29, 2004 12:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: First smc-DA14/2.8 impressions ----- Original Message ----- From: "John Mustarde" Subject: Re: First smc-DA14/2.8 impressions > Double Feh! > > I sure won't be ponying up my hard-earned bucks for any expensive new > lens with this nice CA "feature".

Maybe we will have to compromise and give up our reflex viewfinders to free up some design parameters to get rid of the problem too. William Robb
