As far as I understand the human viewing system, the brain can adapt to
inverted images. Long time ago in school I learned that an experiment was
carried through, where test persons were fitted with inverting prisms 24hrs a
day. After a while they felt quite comfortable with seeing everything
upside-down. Keep in mind that the upside-down images on the retina also are
converted into what we comprehed to be "right".
I'd better stop here...
A few days ago I played with my new Varimagni finder and found it to be rather
disturbing to frame objects without the camera mounted on a tripod. Can one
imagine using the Varimagni finder on moving objects? I tried this on our
family dog, a very agile member of his species, and hard to focus on. See a
sample here: www.i4.auc.dk/berndm/conny.jpg
