The focus is certainly dead on. * I didn't post any out of focus images. The accurate focus hit rate was about 80%. Many of the failures could be attributed to slow shutter speed camera shake. > > Since you mentioned focusing with the magnified view, I wondered how > easy is it to focus normally through the EVF, with say the 35mm > Summilux ? * Ray Tai found the focus pretty easy. I wear tri focals and my older eyes didn't do as well and I ended up using the magnified image more often. > How does the camera feel in general ? * Light and plastic. I hit the ISO arrow on the control wheel accidentally several times bumping up the ISO because my hand was too big for the way I grasped the camera. I do not have large hands. > You also mention > that you have to figure out how to shoot without a lens.
