Actually, I think you're right. It was the R4sP that first featured the screens. I just always called them "the R5 screens." You are right about the metering, and it's because the metering is light that has gone through the mirror and is bounced down to the bottom of the camera where the metering cell is. Nothing going up matters. =================== Eric Welch Grants Pass (OR) Daily Courier NPPA Region 11 JIB chair Don't take life too seriously, you won't get out alive.
