Yes, they are somewhat bigger than the perennial M, but there are advantages. If you use a 135mm on an SLR you will see the image as it will appear on the film, with an M you see only what appears in the little frame. Much different. Hence, my premise is right!

Very few SLR's, incidentally, have EVER provided a 100% VF. Most are around 90%. Hence, your basic premise is wrong. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
