Hmmm, well, since I am the apparent enamored one, I'll just have to keep shooting film in my Leicas and digital with my Pentax ist Ds that happens to have a brilliant viewfinder, albeit one that doesn't flip, flop, and float. It by the way, happily accommodatesmy desire for lens based F stop adjustment, even if it doesn't give me a plain ole shutter speed wheel. But then we are both guilty of "thread-spread" since Gerry simply asked if the Panasonic camera had a glass or an electronic finder, and we gave him information on two cameras he did not even mention! Hmm. "hread-spread" I like it! Regards, Sonny http://www.sonc.com Natchitoches, Louisiana Oldest continuous settlement in La Louisiane ?galit?, libert?, crawfish
