I must say I'm still a bit baffled every time I read praise for the 645 finder, granted I've only had experience with the original 645 (I owned two over several years). As far as I'm aware all variations to date used the "telescope" finder device to extend the eyepiece from the rear of the prism in order the clear the bulky film cassette. I always found it a pain to centre my view in the finder (sans glasses), I found that often it was a chore to see the whole of the frame. Assuming that the 645 finder design hasn't transmogrified since the early days I am pretty sure that I would prefer the D800 finder over the 645D finder information overload or not. -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
