[LRflex] Re: TECH: Questions on quality and taste.

Philippe,
I checked Chasseur d'Images #287 (October 2006), where they tested =20
the L1. The viewfinder shows 95% (6.5M pix instead of 7.5 MPix). =20
(This is considered "une couverture correcte et assez bien centr=E9e"). =20=

They provide a drawing superimposing the viewfinder image with the =20
image obtained, and it looks like there is more of the right side =20
"missimg" from the viewfinder.
A few tests with your own camera should easily confirm or rule out =20
this. It may even vary slightly from one camera body to the next!).
