Hi Luggers,
There was some earlier questions on the LUG about whether the focus  
point and the frame lines in the OVF of the X100 moved to correct for  
closer parallax.
I emailed David Charlwood (who has just reviewed his X100) about this  
question and he replied as follows:

Does the frame line in the OVF move to compensate for parallax as you  
focus closer?
Does the focus point also move to keep the same relationship to the  
frame line or is it fixed in the middle of the frame at infinity?

Both the projected frame line and focus point move to correct parallax  
distortion in the optical viewfinder.



Trust this info is useful to those who might be interested.

Had hoped to get my hands on one locally in the next few days but with  
production interrupted in Japan it may be a while.
