Not to mention you have to worry about all of the dust and crud that =
tends to get on a mirror being in the path of light to the film.  I know =
the inside of my cameras tend to get rather dusty esp after a busy day =
of shooting and swapping lenses. =20

Also the mirror does transmit, I think, 1/3 stop less light to the =
viewfinder than the non RS body, you lose 2/3 to the film.  I was =
considering one of these things for a while but decided I could not =
tolerate the loss of 2/3 stop of light, and I happened to look at an R8 =
and the rest is history.

The 1nRS fixed mirror results in a loss of 2/3 of a stop.
