I like the 1.0 mag finder too but imagine how big the front window of the finder would have to be to get the same field of view as a 28mm lens when the magnification is 1.0! It would have to be about twice the width and height of a current M finder. Imagine how huge the camera would then have to be (and the extra weight). The M3 (nearly 1) and Nikon SP finders can only go up to the 50mm field of view for this reason.
