Rangefinder magnification 0.7x, rangefinder base about 30mm. Effective base 21mm (arrrgh!) --> what would be better ? I don't understand this. Does it limit rangefinder accuracy ? Is it related to focal length of the lens ? Parallax-corrected selectable frame lines for 35/90mm, 50mm and 75mm lenses. --> no 24 or 28 mm. To me, a camera that would "span" 24mm to 75mm would be ideal. I fail to understand why anyone would not care to cater to the wide and ultra-wide photo domains. At LEAST the 28mm ! I also wish they would have made the focussing ring the outermost one. Andre Jean Quintal
