Newbie on R2A & CV 21/4

[2REP]

Hi,

I just got myself a new R2A and CV 21/4. A nicely built camera, but I have a few minor things I want to critise:

1. The build-in viewfinder rectangular metal (or is it plastic) frame doesn't really line up, horizontally with the camera

2. I don't know it is normal or just my camera, the viewfinder has this "haze" at the corners

I know I should check it out throughoutly before giving my money out ..... but hey it's only cosmetic, what inside counts! (I'm trying to comfort myself here ...)

One question I want to ask fellow R2A user. When looking through the external viewfinder, does your nose lodge right on the build-in viewfinder? (Mine does and making a mess on the glass .... *yuck*)

Yup, noses are a problem. Big problem? Well, that depends. My cameras have a beak mark right in the middle of the body, I am left eyed.

mine doesnt line up horizontally too, but I think it's not a problem, my photos seems fine.
