Subject: viewfinder magnification
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..)
We aren't willing to pay for the close manufacturing tolerances required. A 100% viewfinder requires a lot of shimming in by hand. It's very time consuming and expensive. When I bought my Nikon F2s, I was told by the rep that a significant portion of the cost of the camera went into ensuring the 100% viewfinder was 100% accurate.
