Then you also have to do some trimming on the Sony cup to make it fit.
To keep the eye starter to work, you also need to trim a bit at the
bottom
of the Nikon: just take some away, try if it work, take some away
again,
etc.

There you go: perfect OVF with a 17% bigger view. Believe me: that's
much!
Any questions: just ask.
Nice job. But as it will let in additional light from the rear,
putting the exposure off by as much as 0.7EV, it would have been
more useful on the Canon DSLR you recently returned . . .


LOL.
But additional? If anything it lets less light come in..



And on the A350 you can always just switch to live view, viewfinder blind
comes over and you get 1200-zone evaluative metering read from the focus
screen - with alarming accuracy.

Can you elaborate on that? I don't quite understand.
Do you mean the metering in liveview is different than with the OVF?

And how is it alarming?
