I know not many people care about this, but a few still do - I wonder if the new OVF design will make manual focusing easier?

"special glass that 'excels in refraction'" is what DPR noted. What does this mean? Could it possibly make manual focusing more accurate?

I think it means more light is refracted, therefore less light is reflected, leading to a brighter viewfinder (better light transmission) with more contrast.

In the end, may be not brighter than the K-3's viewfinder since the magnification is higher (0.95x --> 1.05x) but at least as bright as the K-3's viewfinder in spite of the increased magnification and with more contrast.
