(The German and French texts say 'large aperture' instead of 'higher f-stop'.) Can somebody explain this about the aperture to me. I often shoot at full aperture, but I only have 0.72x viewfinder magnification. Will my picture be better by a factor of 1.18 if I get 0.85x magnification instead of 0.72? BTW this brochure is not for flipping thru. Each page is folded, and the whole thing is 66 cm or 26 inches wide when both the left and right hand page has been unfolded. Otherwise it is about the size of a letter paper. With a pictures by HCB, but mostly current Germans for the rest.
