[Leica] Micro 4/3rdsand using M lenses

[cummer at netvigator.com (H&ECummer)]

Hi Frank,
Yes I played with the G1 at Photokina but conditions were hardly ideal  
for concentrating on the quality of the finder - so crowded it was  
when I was there. It was better at the Panasonic showroom in HK but I  
had to deal with fluorescent lights and that is not an ideal  
environment either. I want to be able to take the camera out and about  
and use it with some M lenses and then I will be able to form a better  
opinion about the finder. My comparison will be the finder in a D700  
and that is great - like the old days of full frame film cameras. I am  
encouraged by your impressions and look forward to getting the adaptor  
soon. It was a real pleasure to chat at the Frum a Dom during Photokina.
Cheers
Howard
