Hi Philippe,

You are correct, as usual. I guess I was suffering from too much football and good food, and became a little more senile for a bit. Those mirrors do flip up. :-[

But, Moose is mostly correct, since the mirrors are NOT in the path from the 
lens to the film.
I've had a dozen reflexes or more and never noticed the mirror was in the way "to 
the film" when actually shooting.

Should I read "to the eye"?

It was used for composition and focus just as in the RFs.

;-)

Calling an M mirror less is anyhow probably excessive.

The goodness about real mirrorless is that the display automatically adapts to 
the level of light for you to compose more easily.

You were nearly as blind with an M as with an R in that respect.

They are only in the focusing mechanism of the viewfinder.

At least that is true for my IIIa and IIIf, dating as early as 1935.

And the earlier, screw mount bodies, all rangefinders, all mirrorless.
Well, I'm unsure about that. Focussing was assisted by "mirrors" since 1932, at 
least in their RF system(s) ;-)
I sit corrected. ;-)

Amuse A. Moose
