All popular camera makers make a magnifier for the viewfinder--so the principle works--just a matter of applying it or use magnification instead of diopter ajustment. It could be infinitely variable, since it wouldn't affect the front framing or RF. Then we could go to 21 or maybe even 15 with same finder. I would think Tom A would be the local (LUG Global) authority on practicality of such. donal - -- __________ Donal Philby San Diego www.donalphilby.com
