FSU with 1:1 and 100%

Isn't a SBOOI the one with the diminishing view at longer focal lengths? Does it not also cost more than a FSU camera? The russian turret-finder is far cheaper and (from what I read) better.

no, it is a fixed bright 1:1 view.
worth the money and a pleasure to use.

Well normally it's supposed to be 50 though not 100%, so that would make it seem like 40 or 45.
This is just so that everything you see in the finder will be on the film.

Wouldn't that mean that with a 50 lens, you don't get all you see in the finder?
 
get a Vitomatic (II IIa IIb..) they are all 1:1 viefinder, and the viewfinder is usually cristal clear, the finish is superb. The lens is 50mm.
 
I love the viewfinder on my Kiev 3. the viewfinder seems to be close to 100 percent of the view as I never have extra things on the film frame, unLike my Canonets, What I see in the rangefinder is what I get on the film and nothing more!!! And the focusing patch is huge and contrasty, the largest I have ever seen on a rangefinder camera, makes focusing a charm.
The vewfinder is about 90-95 percent magification, which I find easier to use than a 1:1 vewfinder, I can see all the sides of the frame at a glance. Just my two cents... -Michael
