Technical reason would be that part of the light (35% according to the KMP!)
entering the lens needs to go to the AF-system. This makes the VF dimmer. By
optimising the screen for brightness and by reducing the magnification
(concentrating the remaining light on a smaller area) this can be
compensated.
Regarding C: 'history' supports the suggestion that magnification is linked
with AF-MF: For MF K-mount bodies, the magnification is between 0,82 and
0,97. For Af it's between 0,70 and 0,82...
Hope the above is correct, and helps,
Thanks. First one looks good. I cannot see tradeoff with accuracy, but
OK. C as you put it is nothing to do with AF and technical decisions,
just cost-cutting.
