It's wonderful that you like the auto focus on your cameras of choice 
Richard.

Yet that does not equate to the RF view/manual focus experience
(or the use of manual focus lenses on these auto focus or EVF cameras).

I'm not saying one is better than the other.
Simply saying its a totally different experience.
And those who've attempted to bring their M glass to the EVF find it a less 
than satisfying experience;
in the same way that I find bringing my R glass to my 5D less than 
satisfying.

These system cameras work best with their system designed lenses.

YMMV (of course)
