As you say, there's nothing wrong with using you camera like that. You must live a happy life, I'm nothing but annoyed when someone hands me a Rebel XT and asks me to take a picture. It's narrow and dim, I'm even more annoyed when one of my friends hands me his OM1, I have to go and fondle my MX for a couple of hours to get over it. I really should load some film into an LX or MX and relive what "real" viewfinders were all about.
