- Lio 5y agoThat’s true for rangefinder style cameras but not for SLRs. Most optical viewfinders will allow you to stop down for preview at the correct aperture. There’s a useful feature on the X100 series to give you the framing offset.
- frostburg 5y agoNo, it's also true for traditional SLR cameras, due to the nature of focusing screens and other issues you don't get accurate depth of field for very fast lenses, for example.
- sudosysgen 5y agoActually, it is true for SLRs too. The pentaprism and other elements in the optical path are not large enough to transmit light at an aperture over f/2.8. Stopping down isn't an issue. The issue is... not stopping up to the max aperture. It is of course ever worse for rangefinder.
