The rangefinder does miss out on precise composition and framing that an SLR can give. The mirror blackout is something the rangefinder lacks, which is good, but for near-far compositional precision, the SLR is better. It all depends on what kind of photography one is doing whether the trade-offs benefit the rangefinder or the SLR. Eric Welch Carlsbad, CA http://www.neteze.com/ewelch Assassins do it from behind.
