Hi Bob,
Depending on your eye sight and focusing skill you may find some  
trouble in getting consistent accurate focus especially with WA lenses.
At least I have. I believe one of the focus confirmation R > C  
adaptors from the Orient would help a lot in this regard. I have the  
R>O one for my Oly E3 and this helps get my accurate focus rate up  
with the 28 Elmarit R (which was a bear for me to get accurate focus  
on my Canons). Telephotos are not such a problem.
YMMV
Cheers
