This has been answered many times before. But:
o It would make the viewfinder image one stop darker
o There wouldn't be enough room for all the extra
in-viewfinder information people expect nowadays.
No auto-focus Pentax SLR has ever had a vewfinder image
as large as that in an MX or LX. If you want that sort
of viewfinder, you'll have to stay with the manual focus
film cameras.
The viewfinder of the *ist-D is as bright as the viewfinder of
an MX, and as large as the viewfinder image of an MZ-6 or MZ-7.
You won't find anything better on any DSLR under $2000.
