Frank... you and I are about the same age.... do you wear bifocals?  Do you
actually like to use a back LCD display for focusing and composition?

When I have tried this, my head was cocked back and I could barely see the
display.... and for that I got a stiff neck.....

The accessory finder is a working solution but adds a few hundred to a
camera that is already too $$$ for me.....

I think  the Fuji is a winning design... no mechanical linkage for the Rf...
basically an SLR.  I just wish Leica did it too.... EVIL!
