Yes, mostly - but a bright, clear viewfinder makes composition and quick,
critially accurate focus much easier (I don't care for AF), and at least
for me, a continuously-variable shutter in manual mode (doesn't matter if
the shutter's electronic or mechanical) is a very big deal.  Yes it's the
glass, and the viewfinder, and the shutter...  I doubt I could work as well
if my beloved 400 f/6.8 Telyt were modified to fit my kids' N**** FG.
