I don't agree. I used an EOS RT for a year and was never bothered by any
perceived dimness in the finder. The finder was fine. The problem with
Pellicle mirrors is that they cut two thirds of a stop out of the light that
gets to the film.
Although that never bothered me either.
I really think that the unpopularity of pellicle mirrors has to do with
peoples' tendency to "shop on paper" more than with reality. Photographers
just dislike the idea of it _theoretically_, without having had sufficient
firsthand experience of it to really judge.
I really liked that camera.
