It's just reversed left-to-right, which I find somewhat awkward when moving the camera around, but its something that you can obviously get used to (as TLR users do). The view from the rigid hood was astounding: bright, sharp, very contrasty, especially when compared to the prism. I don't own one, but I borrowed one on several occasions. It also makes an excellent full-frame 6x7 loupe. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
