After a time, an inherent > advantage stuck me about the original 0,72X viewfinder. I wonder about another possible advantage of the 0.72x, and maybe others can help clarify this. Regarding lens hood blockage of the viewfinder image: Since the view on the 0.85x is wider (framelines farther apart from each other), does the view include more of the lens hood? If so, the 0.72x may win here. Or is this "cancelled out" by the fact that the rest of the image area is enlarged as well, so the proportions are the same? The answer to both quesitons may be "yes". Has anyone compared the two viewfinders with respect to lens hood blockage? - --Andrew no archive
