Steve,

you can't use the M8 viewfinder.  The reason is that you need to factor
in the magnification factor for the smaller sensor size.  You need to
multiply the focal length by 1.33 to get the equivalent focla length.
So 15mm becomes the equivalent of 19.95mm on 35mm,  21mm becomes 28mm
etc.

Hope that makes sense.

Regards

Mark
