I really disagree with this statement. Now, it has to be said that since I wear glasses. I have the
24mm, and there is no way I can see the full frame without the finder. If you buy a 24mm lens, it
is presumably with the goal of getting more stuff into the frame; so the things that are around the
edges of the image are of utmost importance. If you cannot see them when taking the picture,  you
might as well use a 28mm!
