Hi Moose,
I didn't make myself clear. I was asking how did other manufacturers in the
80s managed this, not just Olys. Before partially silvered mirror and
submirror technollogy began. Before the F3 wunderbrick, how did the F2 and
the famous wunderbricks F1 and F1new, A1, AE1, AE1program etc etc etc.
Wasn't it that noticeable on those cameras?
Rgds,
Fernando.
