	Hi Johnny
	I think the cutting off the top of the frame is a closeup parallax
thing. The one shortcoming of the Voightlander viewfinders is no parallax
marks. Closeup the coverage of the viewfinder gets more and more marginal
and the top few percent of the image seen in the viewfinder won't be in the
pic. Small price to pay for the quality and cheapness of non reflex super
wides IMHO.
