Tell me about it... ;-) That's why I am still undecided!

Another potential problem with using Zuiko primes on the 5D is that if I stop 
down, the viewfinder will get dimmer... How far is one able to stop down, say a 
24/2.8, while keeping the ability to manually focus? On the E-1, I would say 2 
stops at best (with my eyes!), 1 stop is more realistic. On the 5D, with its 
bigger viewfinder, maybe more?
