It's sounding better and better.  Do you find the light amplification of 
the EVF to be sufficient that you can focus properly with an MF lens 
already closed down to taking aperture... assuming modestly bright light 
and modest apertures like f/5.6?  I assume it must be if you can shoot 
with the M.Zuikos which may be wide open at f/6.3 at longer focal lengths.
