Hi Bill, you forgot Exaktas and Prakticas - in many ways the hallmarks of SLR design (first SLRs ever), both of them, and all Exaktas and many (earlier) Prakticas had interch. finders (esp. after the invention of pentaprism so there were more options than just waist-level and magnifier finders) Oly' OMs didn't have inter. finders, to make them as small as possible (while still ergonomic enough). They even had removable X synch hotshoe (a feature I would very much like on the LX or other cameras, it makes the hotshoe much smaller and streamlined. Yes, there is the FA-2, but this one lacks the aperture window, a definite lack for me). I too would like to have the FF1 (or FE1? not waist-level, the magnifier type) finder for my LX, for tripod work or critical focus. A 1.3x magnif. image must be gorgeous :) Good light, Frantisek Vlcek - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
