Yes the viewfinder has a mechanism which compensates for focused subject parallax but that is not the whole of the issue. There is also the problem that, when you are focused close, your subject/background relationship that you observe through the viewfinder will be different from what will be on the film. When working in close quarters I shift the camera up and to the left to put the lens where my eye was. I am so used to this it is completely automatic now.
