Hi Peter,

I have a 5cm finder (you are right, I made a typo) now and I really 
don't think I'd go for anything else. It is a 1:1 finder and is dead 
easy to use with both eyes open. The 50mm framelines just float around 
in the air when you keep both eyes open.

I'm curious about the turret finders, but they just mask things off or 
zoom in, don't they? Do you get so see what is happening outside the 
framelines?

And ... it has those parallax lines.

Daniel
