It says to be 100% viewfinder and .95 (D300s is 0.94) magnification. With the 1.5 crop factor, that's going to translate to an equivalent of 0.63 (a better .63 than D300s' because of rounding, ha ha) image magnification for a 50mm lens mounted on a full frame camera.
0.63 is the magic number for Nikon's second tier professional DSLR, the D3 series has a swell 0.7 image magnification which is very close to the 0.75 of the oldie goodie Nikon F5.
So I guess I have to live with 0.63 all things considered. I expect the viewfinder can provide much needed eye relief and help some what in the manual focusing department. And the fact that it supports A and M for meter/exposure is just music to my ear--color matrix metering with aperture value display not just center weighted like in F5. All of a sudden it just gives me more reasons to keep or even acquire older AI or AIS manual Nikkors because compatibility is just getting even better.
