Rocky,
Almost all of the old viewfinders have focus shift issues, i.e. the "fixed" focal point intersects at 2 separate points, making only a portion of the subject totally in focus. This is nothing new and completely normal, given the specifics of a particular shot! I think Litch will agree. As for someone complaining about this?
Dunno'!
Hope this helps, Capt. Chris
PS: Focus shift also occurs on Canon DSLR's...(at least, according to the "You-Tube-Gurus"...CCS
