Yes, you got that right. The negative *should * contain the same image. But
remember also, that each company's *135 MM* may also differ by 5 or 7 0r so,
so it may never be 100 0dentical. This will probably be noticeable,
especially if you are closely comparing the two negatives.
The 97% viewfinder number I think shows you 970f what will be captured on
the negative.
Hope this helps, (I fear this has the potential to become an Abbott & Costello
"Who's On First?" routine, don't you, Ken?)
