Nigel,
Try working with a Pentax 67! It shows about 90% unless you take the finder
off and look directly at the GG.  Okay for BW, okay for some advertising
assignments where cropping understood.  But for shooting stock where the
whole image is on the light table for the prospective client to
see--irritating.    On the otherhand, it is great for someone like me who
likes to crop close even as the art directors is yelling,  "I need more room
around the edges."
