The barrel distortion affecting alignment is my biggest complaint 
about this viewfinder - can't use the edges, but must try to find a 
horizontal or vertical towards center.

Christer, I'm curious about your dislike if the lens. Next time I'm in

might be interested in seeing anyway, taken with the 15.
