They all still work. The rangefinder is better for lenses up to about 90mm 
in the normal range, the EVF/LCD with LiveView are better with macro and 
tele lenses. I don't have any adapters yet (coming shortly, I hope) but I 
have been able to adapt some Viso lenses and strange macro lenses like 
Photars. It works quite well. Also, if you don't want to carry around a 
number of wideangle viewfinders, the EVF is an option.
