Anyone know why non-professional cameras offer a diminished view of the
picture than will appear on the negative, sometimes as little as 90% of
the negative area?  Why do only professional camera's offer a relatively
full view of the picture area?

Canon AE-1 finder area 91% x 92% of film area
Nikon FE   finder area 93% x 92% of film area
Canon F-1  finder area 96% x 98% of film area
Nikon F3   finder area 98% x 99% of film area
