Perhaps if you have young eyes.
Perhaps if you rely on auto-focus.

However, with my eyes and the R8 I can focus almost any lens accurately in 
reasonable light.

Whereas I cannot reliably focus the 10D even with the 80 1.4.

I think that we'd all agree that AF is not reliable at large apertures.

This viewfinder issue, as Doug H. has said more than once, seems rather 
significant to my way of working, at my age. 

And I believe that Nikon and Canon don't really care much about it because 
they believe everyone will want and rely on AF.

Fond regards,
