There were gadgets or right angled attachments that did this for Zeiss Contax RF cameras, and all the Kodak etc. roll film cameras had WLF. They were all pretty useless......( I will refrain from making more comments about 1900 technology in 2006...) So to focus, you must first get your eyes to focus ( bifocal comment) on the LCD at presumably waist level, then focus the lens, then push the shutter button. All this while the subject sits still....from a LCD screen that is what, maybe 2 inches square ( smaller?) and the RF patch must be tiny... Rots of Ruck....... It does, however explain the huge VF eyepiece I have commented on already...... That is positive. Imagine a RF camera with a high eye relief VF window.. nice for us eyeglass wearers.... I like that idea. Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net
