But cameras have been advertised with different viewfinder magnifications. I've often seen adverts that say 'Viewfinder magnification .97X' and similar (nothing to do with viewfinder coverage, btw) So, you get things like high-eyepoint viewfinders which will give varying magnifications depending on design. The diopter adjustment will also alter the size of the viewfinder image, albeit minutely. -- Best wishes Paul Bradforth http://www.paulbradforth.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
