Regarding EVF's & light cameras with long glass, I just got back from Big 
Sur where I spent some time shooting birds & natural form studies.  For 
various reasons I ended up switching my main body from my D800 (with an 
expedition-sized backpack full of Nikon primes) to my NEX-6 (with 400 6.8 
Telyt, Nikon 1.4x extender & shoulder brace.) Also shot a few frames with 
mediocre yet functional 16 f/2.8 Sony at f/6.3 or so.

I hafta say, the NEX hanging off the back of the long braced rig with focus 
peaking (at effective apertures of f/11, no less) was a damn good rig, and 
brought home some really good birdshots.

If anyone wants to see results I'll stick some up.
