P3D Re: My Realist viewfinder framing doesn't match lenses

[John Edmark <johnedmark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Paul:

Thanks for the idea. Unfortunately, I've already checked the mask, and
it can only be moved a very slight amount. I've considered making a new
mask, but the amount it would have to be moved would cause the top
corners to be cut off.  I should have mentioned that I had already
checked this in my posting. It seems to me that the angle of one of the
mirrors is in the viewfinder is off, but I don't know if that's fixable,
if true.

Any other ideas?
