I never thought I would go with a fully electronic viewfinder but the one on the Fuji is so good, and provides so many useful features, that I converted. Using my Leica lenses, especially the 90mm, on this body, is a joy. And of course the Fuji X lenses are excellent. My M8 is now pretty much dedicated to IR photography or when I am sure I will only be in daylight.
