Through-The-Finder Pics (R4)

[Sam N]

I tried doing a search for this and couldn't find anything.

Are there any R4 users out there who could post photos of the view through the VF? I think some digital P&S cameras allow you to get close enough to get a shot of this.

I'd like to see the sizes of the framelines relative to one another. I'm also curious as to how much (if any) of the view is blocked by your lens.

Users of other cameras feel free to post your VF view as well.

There are two through the finder shots here. They were taken with a digital p&s. I had a difficult holding the R4 and the digicam - should have put the R4 on a tripod.

Thanks for the response. I like the size of the 35 frames on the R4.

Here are the 40 and 90 frames on the R3a.

I couldn't get the entire 40mm frame in the shot even though I can see it with my eye. I had the lens of the compact P&S touching the eyecup of the R3A.

The lens is the 40/1.4. The hood blocks much of the view, but somehow I don't find it bothersome at all. Without the hood on, none of the view inside the framelines is blocked.
