Hi Wieland,
I don't know which posting you are referring to, but
or my part: I didn't wrote about eyepoint I wrote
about the "viewing distance" to the screen. That meant
the distance, the eye has to adjust when looking at
the screen. If this is too short, the eyes will get
tiered soon when continually looking to the
viewfinder. (In contrast is "the eyepoint, or eye
relief, indicates how far your eye can be from the
viewfinder to see the entire image" -- see posting
from Erwin Vereecken)
Speaking about the MX, this distance is definitely too
short. The viewing distance of the aperture indication
is way too short.
People on this list tend to be very uncritical about
cameras or lenses that they are in love with, - in
particular when it comes to those vintage gear :) ...
I like the MX too but it has definitely shortcomings
(no wonder it's 25 years old design). One of them this
the viewfinder.
