It is pure magic, Ted! Plus the Olympus E-330 tilting live-view LCD lets me back up the camera itself against a wall instead of myself - no need to peer through the optical viewfinder. I can't even begin to count the number of shots I've made with the E-330 that I could have not done with any other DSLR or M rangefinder. I am looking forward to the 2007 Leica 25mm f1.4 for the 4/3 format, creating a "Lympa" without needing an adapter!
