Re: X-700 no focusing screen

Hi, I just saw this post, and needed to add that with the Minolta x-700, if you have NO focusing screen you will indeed see the image in a circle, surrounded by black! I confirmed this today by removing the  focusing screen of my X-700, and found out exactly what you are saying! Man when you get a focusing screen for your camera you are going to TRIP! you will see the full viewfinder gets covered by the image you are seeing through the lens and it also help you focus better too. Have you been able to get a focusing screen???
Good luck
