Well I got a wake-up call yesterday. I haven't used the mirrorless Fuji A-1 since my cataract surgeries. Now both eyes are 'fixed', but I can't see close-up or read newspapers, without reading glasses!
The Fuji A-1 still works fine, but has no viewfinder. You do all your composition (and any manual focusing) on the rear screen. Unfortunately, my arms need to be about 6 inches longer to put the rear screen in focus. Not a problem with the K-3, but now I need glasses for the Fuji! I don't think I'm gonna keep the Fuji A-1 or the Pentax K-01 (also no viewfinder). And chimping will be a problem on the K-3... Regards, Bob S.
