I quote from two different threads because the topic is now related. The human eye uses contrast to discern sharpness. A finder screen that provides a brighter image may do so at the expense of contrast. If so the end result will be a screen so bright you have to wear shades, but one which actually provides less data on image sharpness. This was a criticism of the original Olympus OM-1 which was introduced with much bragging about the camera's small size and the brightness of its finders, and of some after-market focus screens. -- regards, Henry Posner Director of Sales and Training B&H Photo-Video, and Pro-Audio Inc. http://www.bhphotovideo.com * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
