The higher mag. finders (M3, .85) by nature show less of this problem. If you use these faster/bigger lenses, especially with their shades, you will see somewhere between 10-20% more of your framed in-camera image by using the higher mag. body. I stubbornly stick to the notion that photography begins with getting a good look at what you are shooting before pressing the shutter release. Emanuel Lowi Montreal
