[OM] %$#$%&! Oly viewfinder

Just got back a couple rolls of Sensia100 I was shooting around the city.
Love the saturation. Love the dynamic range (even though I know it will be
almost impossible to scan or print). Love the insanely sharp endless detail
of my newish 24/2.8 and 50/1.4. (Heck, this even makes the 200/4 seem contrasty.)

Don't love the blue cast (partially my fault for a bright manhattan day).
HATE the fact that the edges of my tight, clean (uh-huh) full-frame
compositions are missing parts of the picture I know were there (and can
see hiding under the cardboard).

I think I may have ranted about this before, but what do the rest of you
Zuiks do? Are there any NYC-area (or elsewhere) processors who use mounts
that don't kill the edges of the frame? (preferably not for the $1-a-mount
surcharge Modernage would sock me for) Should I just get the film back
unmounted, and scan the pix or mount the ones I like? Does anyone mask off
the famous 970lympus viewfinder so that it no longer shows 1030f the
image you actually get?

Suggestions?
