thanx for the warm welcome to the brotherhood! i also appreciate all the pointers.
I just realized that I was asking to much from the focusing screen. I have f/1.4 lens on LX and f/2.4 on 6x7 -- that's more than enough to explain the brightness difference. > From: William Robb > Subject: Re: 6x7 enabled (now some questions to the brotherhood) > Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2002 22:11:44 -0800 ... > Does it have mirror lock? yes. and it feels in exactly right place. did i mention how i was impressed with the camera's ergonomics? well, i'm still am. all i can say, once i pick it up, it is "sooooo right"! > > there good replacement for the standard screen? > > Beattie makes one.
