Viewfinder/LCD panel  
Viewfinder Large, bright-line rangefinder with automatic parallax compensation, suitable for -0.5 dpt; optional
corrective lenses available: -3 to +3 dpt
Display Four-digit digital display with items show on the top and bottom,
Image field limiter: two lit frames: 35 mm + 135 mm, 28 mm + 90 mm, 50 mm + 75 mm (automatic switchover when lens is attached)
