Possibly because the light isn't being deflected by a mirror so it can pass through a focusing screen, bounce around a pentaprism for a while, and then pass through a viewfinder? Not to mention all the glass in the lens. I'd guess that it had to do with the focusing screen somehow. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
