I have tried focus comparison between rangefinder and ttl electronic 
viewfinder on my new M. To be honest the biggest difference in the pictures 
has been better exposure on the live view shots, presumably because of the 
more sophisticated metering available off-sensor rather than the 
centre-weighted (ish) system used in the conventional system. There I was, 
looking for focus differences and the really big difference was not that at 
all!

Anybody else noticed this?
