The viewfinder of my MZ5N partially darkens with the K400/f5.6 due to the long focal length and the mirror being too small. Maybe the problem is reduced with the different optical formula of the A400/f5.6, but the better solution surely is to have a camera with a bigger mirror, like the LX and the K2. Also, K2 and LX are much better for manual focusing than MZ/ZX cameras as they have higher viewfinder magnification. The best solution I konw for manually focusing long and slow lenses is an LX with the new plain SE60 matte screen or with the new grid screen SG60.
