True. But to have the exact time, hold or tape some diffusion paper (I don't find the exact word, but you can find some in your kitchen) in place of the film and point the lens (set at minimum aperture as Anthony mentionned) towards a bright light source. On a LX, you only need to take the prism off to have a 100% view. Andre --
