Anthony,

>>Why not just use diopter correction on the built-in finder?  I saw
corrective
lenses mention in the catalog.<<

My uncorrected eyesight is so bad that I would have to have a diopter cutom
made. The other problem would be taking the glasses off to look through the
camera and having to put them back on to see things normally. The 28mm
finder works just great.

Bryan
