Yes, but think how convenient it'd be if you could have a little switch on the side of the camera marked 1.0x, 1.5x, 2.0x and with that little switch, the finder would switch magnifications. You could always stay in the magnification level you wanted (0.5, 0.75, and 1.0) to optimize between seeing "outside" the lines and RF accuracy. Imagine how .... groundbreaking that would be.... It would require engineering of the highest degree and use of the most sophisticated materials. I bet even the best Japanese engineers couldn't have even produced that .... 45 years ago.
