The two views (internal/external VFs) may be close, but they are definitely not close enough for me. Why not go to your local dealer, ask to see a .58 body with a 24 lens *and* VF, then compare for yourself the view through the internal vs the external VF? You can decide for yourself whether or not it will work for you. Guy
