I do find, however, that the viewfinders are even worse than I remember from the Brownie we had at home many years ago and I wonder if using regular mirrors rather than front surface ones is contributing to this? There is quite a bit of what I can only call vignetting from the little lens the viewfinder peeks through and might this be caused by the reflective surface of the mirror being too far back? Or are they just naturally terrible!
