RE: viewfinder magnification

[Alan Chan]

I believe the manufacturing tolerance of a 100% viewfinder is way too 
difficult and expensive. It is not difficult to understand why once you have 
seen how the viewfinder is assemlbed. Every piece has to be 100% accurate 
(mirror, screen, pentaprism, eyepiece). Besides, even if the factory could 
do it at reasonable cost, the regional service centres can't.

This is probably a silly question which has been discussed to bits, but I
was wondering if someone could give me the quick answer as to why it was 
too
hard to put a 100% viewfinder in the ist D (as opposed to the 90something
percent..)

Thanks,
Ryan
