Doug, can you somehow quantify the relative quality of the A900 VF?  I would
think that your high praise for the SL VF would say not that good, but what
about compared to the R8?  A Nikon D700?  Or ????

I assume the comparison is for focusing ease... for lack of different
"specs".

( I would love a comparison to a D1x, but would take something more
current....)

Using R lenses on any camera other than Leica R means losing the
auto-aperture but the A900's color quality, excellent viewfinder and
full-frame sensor with lots and lots of pixels are very appealing, and
converting the camera's mount instead of the lens means I can still use the
lenses on SL bodies.  And no mirror clearance problems.
