And on first look, will revisit when Leica adaptor is finally released, 
focussing imprecision at mid distances with longer lenses...

The auto diaphragm does not matter with the EVF, I have done test shots 
where I could 'see' and focus with the EVF but not a chance by r/f. However 
the latter two are quite major for some work, does not always preclude 
handheld but is not a 2fps solution!
