OT canon pro-1 and viewfinder comparisons
Happened into the local Micro Center electronics store and found they had one Canon Pro-1 camera left. It's an in-case demo unit. If Ann or anyone else would like it, I found they would let me have it for $610 plus tax. --- I was curious ... they had the Konica Minolta 7D, Olympus E500, E300, and Pentax DL bodies all on the shelf. I asked to see all of them and compared the viewfinders to my DS, fitted with 20-35/4 lens. KM 7D - virtually identical to the Pentax DS in magnification and brightness with stock screen. *ist DL - slightly brighter, lower magnification E500 ... E500 is a little lower magnification, same brightness (the different format proportion throws off your perceptions a little bit ... it's a little shorter in the vertical dimension) E300 ... about same vertically as the DS, a little more magnification then the E500, about a stop dimmer. By and large, I found all of them quite useable for manual focusing although the DS and 7D remain about the best for that, the DS particularly with the Katz Eye screen.
