I remember the SFXn I tried at a local store had coated glass eyepiece, but the SF1n I just bought from eBay has plastic (ouch!). I hated the plastic eyepiece so much I cut one from HOYA HMC SUPER UV to fit my Z-1p, and the viewfinder is actually sharper (especially noticable when manual focusing). But what's more important is I don't need to shield it with my left hand now whenever I shoot outdoor. The viewfinder simply flare no more. Anyway, the SF1n is defective so it will be back to its owner. :-) ===== Alan Chan http://www.pbase.com/wlachan __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
