I'm rarely worried by the shutter lag when composing super wide shots. I'd
agree if the EVF were the choice for a 28, 35 or 50mm, which are the usual
lenses I use when 'hunting' for fast decisive moment stuff. As I said,
your use of these M features will depend on your style of photography. I
am keen to try the R lenses, and then the shutter lag may annoy me, though
how much worse it is than a standard SLR mirror slap will be interesting.

The use of the rear screen is for me very limited in terms of image
composition. My long sightedness makes it useless pretty much at anything
under arms length, so the only use so far has been when judging angles on
overhead shots to avoid 'unsightly' clutter in the foreground.

Cheers

Alastair
