This is what SLRs are for isn't it? I've seen the zooming viewfinder used
in the Contax TVS. (My wife owns one) The *#$%@$# thing is SO DIM that in
low light you can't even see what you're looking at.

A finder that showed the 135 magnified a bit AND has bright lines outside
the picture are would be nice. Hmm... That's exactly what my 135 BL Leitz
finder does!  :-)
