Re: *ist DS versus *ist D for the "Digital Newbie"

[Peter J. Alling]

Brighter with easier focusing and viewing.  I don't know if that's 
inherent or that it's just easier to make
a pentaprism that way.

Hi, Boris.
1. On DS the viewfinder most likely will be penta-mirror. For me
the D's viewfinder was like a blessing compared to penta-mirror of
my MZ-6.
     

A penta-mirror might not be my ideal (unless it would indeed be as
good as a pentaprism), since manual focus ability is important to me
(who has a lot of manual focus K-mount lenses).

What is the advantage of a pentaprism compared to the penta-mirror?
I have an MZ-6 with a penta-mirror.

During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings 
and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
