zoom and the left-right 6x6 frames cover about 37mm. So
35mm should be OK.
The upper-lower lines also have parallax lines so the
upper parallax line is probably about right. There's
also a very prominent centre dot.
There was also a 35mm version marked for 50mm lens
and a 6x9
You use it with your eye about an inch away. Works
well in normal roomlight as well as sunlight.

It was the Voigtlander Kontur Finder seen and described here:

I have the 6x6 version. You keep both eyes open and see the
scene as normal, but with a white frame superimposed in your
brain

especially when the site concerned has also done a
page on the viewfinder.

Also the same review states that on continuous shooting the
A77 is showing the previous frame captured and not the one
currently being captured Hardly an example of no lag
This site shows the A77 to have more shutter lag than
the K-5.... this will help the viewfinder to look a
bit more efficient.

In some respects I actually find it preferable (composing on a screen). By having the camera at arms length you can get a greater appreciate what is going on outside of your frame, which can often be difficult when using a viewfinder.
Also, holding a camera up to your face often makes certain subjects act differently which can impact the type of shot you're trying to capture. In fact I find the further I can keep a camera from my face, the more likely I am to get the shot I want (in terms of candid shots specifically).
As with all things in life it's a case of horses for courses.

With traditional wedding (film) albums all the prints
had to be the same size, because that's how it was priced
8"x6" or 8"x10" but you wouldn't have facing pages partly
because of the tissue interleaf.
I would still go for all prints the same size portrait and
landscape. I don't know if you sell reprints, but showing
small portrait sized pics isn't going to help with
selling bigger reprints. They will just order the same size
that's in the album.
