If I recall correctly, the slide shooters would criticize 100% viewfinders because slide mounts were not 100%, so of course they would see things in the finder that were cut off by the mount. I had an old guy (I read his obituary yesterday, in fact) cursing my at the time brand new Nikon F2s because it had an accursed 100% viewfinder. For myself, I would rather have the full frame finder accuracy and a removable screen that I could draw crop lines onto. In fact, that was exactly what I did with my F2s and F3hp. It hasn't seemed to be a viable option with the Pentaxes, even the LX has a pretty sloppy viewfinder.
