Good to know - very reassuring - thanks!

Thanks Jim, that's helpful. I wasn't sure if I could use the camera without a finder (without the focussing screen falling out). Scale focussing and using an incident meter is how I work already, so that part is familiar. No finder at all may be what I decide to do.

Hi all, Can someone confirm whether the old style F1 waist level finder will an F1 New? OR Can I view the image while having the camera 1-2 feet away from my face, using the new style waist level finder found on an F-1 New? I'd like to use an FD camera the same way I might a TLR - with the camera closer to my waist, maybe 1-2 feet away from my eye. I focus using only the distance scale, on a 20mm lens, so close detailed viewing isn't a priority. I don't want to have the camera up to my eye, like I do my A-1. This is for an upcoming trip to Mexico City, where I want to photograph but while still giving the appearance of being aware of my surroundings. Thanks, Anthony (I can't seem to change my screen name - hopefully it's just a glitch).
