Not from Pentax, is there a shoeless prism with aperture indeed. You'll
take what you get and like it young man!

That's the thin model finder, no extra baggage and very cute. Note the profile,
the cover hugs the prism whereas the FA-2 has a big pregnant lump on the front.
So the answer is: "It's for purely cosmetic reasons", is it?
Hmph. My hotshoe finder (FA-1W) has a wider front profile, but I
thought that was simply to accomodate the hotshoe. It also "sticks
out" about 1mm from the body where the little aperture-ring-number
reader is, as compared to the FA-2 (which is what my "thin model"
finder without the hotshoe is labelled as). For 1mm difference, I'd
prefer the aperture info in the viewfinder, thank you. <vbg>
I'm too lazy to go look: does anyone know if a shoe-less prism is
available with the aperture info in the viewfinder?
Hey, I just thought of something. My older "shoeless" LX will
henceforth be known as Joe, since it's shoe-less, just like Shoe-less
Joe Jackson of Black Sox fame (or rather infamy). <vbg>
Now I have to think of a name for the other LX, along with my MX...
cheers,
frank
