I often keep both eyes open when shooting with my Leica Ms, which have
.72 and .58 magnification, and my Nikon F100s - so it's really a matter
of your eyes, and what works for you. I haven't shot with the OM4 for
about five years, so I honestly can't compare it to an E-1 - all I can
say is that coming from the Nikon F100, the E-1 only strikes me, as I've
said, as bright and sharp.

I recall that when the 1 and 2 were launched here at 34º 55' South, 56º
10' West the salesman was one of the first Olympus fans I knew. More
than 20 years ago he told me that the viewfinder was big enough that you
could compose a picture with both eyes open (normal lens) No need to
shut your left (right) eye when framing and focusing because viewfinder
magnification was very similar to naked eye viewing. Maybe he was right,
but I rarely did this comparison mostly because I seldom use a normal
lens and because when I need a critical composition, find it better
taking off my eyeglasses and using a custom made dioptric correction
lens into eyecup 1. So my left eye comes completely out of focus.
But I've looked thru a few SLRs, and everyone had a quite smalish
viewfinder magnification. Especially C*n*n I must say, though I never
looked thru an eos1. Recently I grabed A N*k*n FM2 and was surprised
(again) by the fine mate screen and big split image, but it was no-way
smaller, unbearable smaller. IMO, the 4 is just in the limit - I
couldn't get accustomed to it, and the now you see it now you don't gray
LCD display... hope the 4 or 4T with blue display overcame this.
C´mon I've almost finished studying Husserl this beautiful spring Sunday
and you keep talking about interesting things....
