Seems to me that th whole parallax thing is given to much importance. Yes
it is there in your rangefinder system. Are you sure it isn't there in your
SLR? Back in the early seventies when all the photo rags were running SLR
V. Rangefinder articles every other issue, my wife was selling cameras.
This gave me the opportunity to try lots of systems.
SLRs were often very parallax ridden. (strictly speaking not parallax, but
the same effect. The center was NOT centered and edges might be missing.)
This was often compensated to some extent by the very limited amount of
picture area actually shown in the viewfinder.
=46or me the answer is simple. Rangefinder for most things and Viso for the
close stuff. (My wife still prefers the SLR for most things)
