Scott, When I started photography I too was less than impressed with the DOF stopdown. 'Just makes he bloody viewfinder dark' and 'Can't see anything in that' were my first impressions. It turns out the trick is to allow your eye time to adjust. Looking thro the finder I typically shield the eyepiece from extra light with my hand and wait for a few seconds. It's amazing how it becomes a lot clearer when your eye is used to it - I shoot landscapes with a 6x7 and use it all the time to check the foreground is sharp. Thats working at f/16 or even f/22 mostly, so you can imagine how dim that makes the view! Chris
