I volunteered to be our party's photographer during the New Year's Eve party. After about 3 rolls of films, I swapped a 90 Cron and then screw in the 1.25x viewfiner for some close-up shots. During the excitment of the shooting, and when some folks were getting rowdy someone shoved me and I bumped my camera just as I was framing a shot. Well the protruding 1.25x can really hurt and I got a "black eye" as well as a bruised cornea. I just want to warn the folks here about the danger of the eyepiece design. The protrusion fits the eyeball perfectly and unlike the ordinary eyepiece where your entire face touches the camera while framing a shot, the 1.25x mag's only anchor point is against your eyeball. So when the going gets hot......watch out. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
