Has anyone ever used the magnifier to use either a 85mm or 105mm lens or something longer like those two? I read this on Gandy's website:
"The three position finder offered three magnifications roughly equal to the 50/100/135 lenses. Parallax correction or brightlines were NOT part of the package."
I was thinking maybe a Nikon 105/2.5 and not have to use the aux finder on top of the camera. But, parralax needs to be adjusted since the camera doesn't correct it. Any other issues?

The high mag setting is not really good for framing, even though the frame size is roughly equal to 135mm. The frame is not a well-defined rectangle, but more of an oval with soft edges. It's a great aid to focussing, but I prefer using external finders.
