I don't see anything special about a magnification of 1.0 for that. I quite often keep both eyes open so that I can check for things happening out of frame. If anything, I use that technique more with long focal lengths than with a 50mm lens, so I'm looking at a very magnified view through the camera. The human eye & brain is amazingly good at reconciling the two different fields of view. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
