I look forward to peering through somebody's K10D then, because I have an E-1 and the viewfinder is fine.
I'm someone who's used to Leica rangefinders, as well as the MX, LX and Contax 35mm viewfinders, so I have some experience of good viewfinders. At the weekend I bought an 11-22mm lens and compared the view against the Contax/Zeiss 21mm lens on a Contax RX and although the image on the E-1 is much smaller than the 35mm viewfinder image (which is to be expected), it is not really any less usable. When I was looking at my first DSLR I was very careful about comparing viewfinders on the different models available (this was before the K10D), and the Olympus viewfinders were no worse than any others (compared with 35mm finders). -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Sylwester Pietrzyk > Sent: 14 May 2007 09:36 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: Pentax Full-Year Profit Exceeds Company's Forecast > > On 11.05.2007, at 18:50 , Christian wrote: > > > After using your K10D, you'll enjoy the viewfinder of the oly... > > NOT! :-) > > > > it's more than just about lenses, noise and sensor sizes. > Ergonomics > > plays a huge role.
