Does anybody have an idea of how much area shows in the viewfinder?  I was using my ET, made in 1984, and the resulting negatives seem to show much more area than what the viewfinder framed.  So I was curious.  I would be helpful information to know as well.  [[User:HaarFager|HaarFager]] ([[User talk:HaarFager|talk]]) 10:48, 2 June 2018 (CDT)

Viewfinder

Does anybody have an idea of how much area shows in the viewfinder? I was using my ET, made in 1984, and the resulting negatives seem to show much more area than what the viewfinder framed. So I was curious. I would be helpful information to know as well. HaarFager (talk) 10:48, 2 June 2018 (CDT)
