	Hi -

	Yes. Mine does. But if you wear glasses, the full 28 mm
	frame will be difficult (let's say impossible) to see.

	Solutions:
	(1) Wear contact lenses.
	(2) If your eyes are good enouch, you can buy diopters
		+/- 2 (max) diopters.
	(3) Use one of the other frames to "aim" the camera and
		move your eyes around the viewfinder until you
		can see one edge or another on the 28 mm frame.
