Hi Aram, Thanks for the comments. Yes - I must agree.. the viewfinders does look small. And that might cause some serious focusing issues.. I heard rumours of a new model from Canon, something between the 20D and their flagship. I wonder, will they improve on the viewfinder .... well, I am hoping... /Julian > ------------------------------ > > From: "Aram Langhans" <leica_r8@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: [LRFlex] Re: Leica on EOS 350D (also called > Rebel digital XT in US) > Date: Sat, 16 Apr 2005 06:21:09 -0700 > > I didn't try mounting glass (I am sure it is the > same as the rebel, 10D and > 20D), but the viewfinder sure looks small.
