Hmmmm. "Action finder" reminds me of that door you open on the top
cover of a Yashicamat to give you a direct viewfinder. At least it's
distortion-free and, with relevance to this topic, has 1.0x
magnification. Pity you get parallax error...
Incidentally, the Leica 0-Series has such a viewfinder too.
