Bill you misunderstand.. the parallax also effects the RF image.... the
focusing spot.....    It will become offset somehow, like a M6 with the
fabled vertical RF out of alignment issue..... That RF Focusing  problem is
still there, no matter which lens you use for actual taking or viewing....

The difference.....
Viewing and composing = VF.
Focusing = RF.

The issue of viewfinder parallax at the closer (under .7m) focus
coupled range only applies to the new Zeiss 28mm lens. The camera
viewfinder does not cover the lenses wider than 28mm, so the
photographer is using an auxiliary finder (or guessing) and the
parallax issue is the same as for previous equipment.
