PMFJI but I would say the large electronic viewfinder in the G1, GH1 and 
Olympus E-P2  are extremely easy to focus the longer Leica lenses. Both the 
90 and Noctilux work out very well, in terms of focussing.
I had less success using the screen on the back for focussing or framing 
when I had the E-P1.
I wouldn't dream of using the back screen instead of the viewfinder on those 
that have both, except on a tripod.
