You can then zoom in 5 or 10X, but only in the center. You cannot move around the sensor area. However once you take the shot, you can review it at magnification and adjust focus/ f-stop. For landscape work this is how I've ended up working all my cameras. It's the fastest and most accurate. I also prefer using the back LCD for this type of work as their are more pixels/greater accuracy. I use a hoodman or 4x loop with the back LCD if needed. And since now you can use virtually any lens with live view/EVF/LCD you have lots of options. Someday I may rent the Canon 17mm T/S just for fun. :-) Bob Adler > On Oct 9, 2013, at 6:35 AM, "Frank Filippone" <red735i at verizon.net> > wrote: > > Now that there are a few cameras circulating in the community, maybe > someone > has experience with the EVF: > > > > I like being able to focus using the ground glass on my SLR's, including > the > Nikon, Rollei, Hasselblad and even the LF ground glass.
