The problem is that you have to cover it somehow....the construction 
itself is quite open, not a massive piece of glass....remember that 
it contains a mirror for the spirit level. And that very spirit level 
is screwed onto the body, not to the viewfinder innards....

Sorry, didn't see nor visit any other digi-pan company....had far too 
little time....I really should try to make it a 2 or 3 days visit 
next time (but I have been saying that for the last 2 Kina's 
already....8-)).
