Agreed. If you really want to be sick, look in a Minolta 5, 7, or 9.
They have incredible screens. Granted, that's been one of Minolta's
strengths for a while (I believe that Hasselblad is still using the
Minolta screens), but really, couldn't Pentax come up with something
close? Even a cheapie Cosina clone we sold had a better finder than what
you see in any of the Pentax cameras... SIGH!
