I’m not left-eyed, CyberSimian, but it seems pretty comfortable to me when I 
try with my left eye.  I’m used to pressing my nose to the screen of the 
X-Pro2, for some reason, but the GM5 seems to have a EVF which protrudes 
sufficiently for a comfortable view with my left eye with plenty of space for 
my nose.

And I’m happy with the quality of both jpg and Raw images with the little 
12-32.  I’m on the point of shelling out a little for the telephoto zoom that 
Mike and Moose recommended.
