I agree with you wim, and came to digital slrs from still using the Canon F1 with a speed finder attached to easy my viewing experience. So far I have found the original 1D and 1D II/n the best for viewing through, and I have a very hard time with the other models (I also use Ds II).
Life has improved immensely for me since having corrective laser surgery for my astigmatism and myopia, and after decades I am now free of glasses and contacts lenses (for awhile at least). Try looking through the viewfinder of the older 1D IIn when you get a chance, it is a nice balance I think of 100% and eye relief (though I wish there was a dedicated speed finder model).

I looked though the Olympus E3 and considered that system, but went with the 1D IIn originally; when I looked at the 7D I found its viewfinder reminiscent of the E-3 I tested.
