May I do some conditionalizing?

With .. the Panasonic supplied lenses....autofocus, an external viewfinder
should be enough.

OTOH, with my Leica lenses? I guess it would challenge my bifocals......

I do get digital capture, but really accurate focus?

I guess in the long run it depends on the cost.  If this is a $300 camera,
no problem, I can try it out with my Leica, Nikon, Hasselblad, and LF
lenses.  If it is a $2000 camera, I think I will pass......

Can you imagine the EP1 with a Nikkor 8mm Fisheye on it?  How about with ANY
Hasselblad lens ?  Sounds awkward, but possible.....
