Which is a really interesting topic for me because all else being equal I
find that the RF is much more precise. That is to say that in my experience
there is a range of acceptable focus peaking effect as you move the focus
ring (not dissimilar to a plain ground glass in effect?) but only one
moment when the RF is truly aligned.However that is not taking into account
focus shift which the EVF negates for you. Of course the RF is not very
good at all if you want to use R lenses or long teles, or macros or third
party adapted lenses!


Cheers
