I do suggest that you include your EVF though. I can speak from experience that it can be invaluable. After I bent my M and 50 I could keep going for a couple of hundred more frames. Even without that, it's revealing what you can do with it when you're required to use it. Here's Lluis in Barcelona with my 50 wide open or nearly so and slow shutter speed, focus peaking in lower light. http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/153865387.
