Would anyone care to comment on the relative brightness of these four viewfinders, R6 vs R6.2 vs R7 vs. R8??.. I found from the Pop Photo tests that the R-8 viewfinder loses 1.6 stops of light where the R-6 loses 2.5 stops... So are the R-7 and R6.2 viewfinders the same as the R-6 or brighter??? I've been looking but haven't found it anywhere.... Does anybody here know for sure?.... and more important....does it matter in practice when using a lens like the 80-200 f/4 ? One well respected member of the LUG mentioned that she hasn't noticed any difference in brightness between the R8 and R-6.2 I found it interesting that for matters of comparison with my existing EQ that... the EOS 1N loses nearly 3 stops..... 2.9 to be exact... As much as I like the viewfinder of the R-8... I'm still wondering if I'd rather have a lighter body especially when I'll be hiking or am going to lug it around all day.
