Thanks for checking, but the real issue is, what happens to the focussing accuracy when you look through crooked? Check by focussing on a line at about 1.5m, then look through crooked. Does the line split a little, even with a feint ghost image? I get this with my 0.85 TTL, looking through the viewfinder with a little bias to the right. But I've had no takers yet.
