The specs say: http://www.dpreview.com/articles/canoneos5d/ Viewfinder ? 96% frame coverage ? 0.71x magnification ? Focusing screen can be changed The viewfinder seems very similar to the 1DMII, which is .72x, but the camera weighs almost half as much. It feels very, very light compared to the MarkII. The 5D is full frame, though, so my lenses are what they say they are! I'm having problems getting it programmed to work the same as my MarkII, though. Custom Function 13 is supposed to make the big wheel control the focus points and, so far, I haven't been able to make it work. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP http://www.tinamanley.com
