There problem is, if you don't see it in the viewfinder, and it gets in the frame, then it's one the trans. When you give a trans to a client you can't be there to crop it, so you must assure that they can't leave something in that you want out. I never understood the real need for a 100% veiwfinder until I started shooting for 40 differnt clients with all levels of sophistication. Tom
