It looks similar to the double >image you see in the rangefinder patch. That, and the washed-out rangefinder image are normal. Lighting conditions harsh enough to wash out the rangefinder are usually also too harsh to yield good photos, but one can always focus by the lens distance scale, if need be. It's at times like this when you really appreciate the depth of field engravings! Jeff Segawa See my photography online at http://www.netone.com/~segawa
