I think the point is that Oly got a good magnification from the viewfinder
without it darkening. If you think about it, everybodies screens are the
same size......

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....
