Diopters, yes. ~sigh~ I use a diopter with my FG and it's the type that slides on. I've lost one and now have this one taped on. They're all made in whole number increments. Right now the +1 is pretty close, but not perfect and I'm not quite to a +2. I enjoyed perfect vision for the longest time, so this bifocal thing is an irritant.

I'd like to replace it with something that is similar, but a little better is ok. :o) I like the simplicity ofit, I like manual, and I like the metering system. Any suggestions?(I also have a Hasselblad and a F100, but want a simple little manualbody. That's what I use most.)Okay so I'm not exactly answering the question but then. The F4s with manual lenses will work peachy. It's not small but in my hands it's very well balanced. If you stick an autofocus lens on it then it's not manual in anysense of the word.I love my F4's, but the F4 is an electronic camera - batteries die, no pix.One thing to bear in mind as you are getting older .... is the diopter adjustment found in the upper-end cameras. Having my eyes change on me over the last few years, it's been great to just make an adjustment on the finder to keep things in focus.====================================================================== ======================================= To unsubscribe from this list, go to www.freelists.org and logon to your account (the same e-mail address and password you set-up when you subscribed,) and unsubscribe from there.
