Paul, Did you turn it on? The Nikon's use an LED/LCD overlay that's quite dark when turned off, but is much brighter when turned on (Because the LCD goes transparent). The D200/D80 viewfinders are unimpressive when turned off, but quite decent when turned on. The 18-55 is crap however, and the 18-135 isn't much better. The 18-70 is quite good, if a bit slow at the long end. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
