Are you kidding? I dont need to buy a new finder to know that general purpose finders ( the ones found in most SLRS, not specialty finders specifically designed for wide angle or telephoto lenses), dont change the basic optical properties of lenses and the wider the lens, the deeper the depth of field, and the deeper the depth of field the harder it is to find the true point of focus. Its very basic stuff here and unrelated to the finder itself. Your "proof" that I havent used your DSLR finder so I cannot be correct on the matter is wrong because its not a finder related difference. Its a lens focal length related difference.

My experience is valid, your comments are not since you've not used the lenses in question on an istDS.
