>>>In order to reduce the height of the camera, the condenser lens of the
finder mechanism is eliminated. To maintain the brightness of the
viewfinder, a pentaprism with a curve at the bottom is used. The
reflection side of the pentaprism is coated with silver. Silver has a
better reflection performance than the conventionally used aluminum.
Capability of the focusing screen is also improved.<<<

If you haven't yet completely read everything on the site
http://members.xoom.com/maitani_fan/
you owe it to yourself to do so. It has details that show just how much
Maitani did to make the best he could, OM, XA, Pen and all others. A joy
and pleasure to read.
