Hi, can anyone offer any advice please? My son has just bought a Canon AE-1 Program off e-bay. It seem ok generally except for the viewfinder. When you look through it, you can only see a small circle of the image on the screen - not the large rectangular view I was expecting. The lens is ok when tried on my AT-1. The focusing screen is a plain one rather than the split-screen fresnel. Has anyone come across this before? Any thoughts or advice would be greatly apreciated. Thanks AD
