Hi,
Like most I was a bit disappointed by the 0.75x viewfinder magnification.
However I rechecked
http://www.smu.edu/~rmonagha/mf/viewfinder.html
The short list of the latest (in this article) top model camera's autofocus
AND manual focus:
Canon EOS1n : 0.75x
Contax RTSIII: 0.75x
Leica R8:
Does anybody know or has anybody heard about any of the AF sensors being
sensitive to both horizontal and vertical lines? If not, I think this is a
pretty big drawback to a new updated AF system.
Thanks,
Ed
