yes it's distressing, heartbreaking in fact, but that is the nature of this
disease....

I at first missed an optical vf, now that I am used to the EVF and I am using
it for manual focus with leica M lenses and the Fuji M adapter, with the
available magnification to aid in focussing, it's very rewarding. Never have I
found focussing so easy and consistent, not even with my M6, M7, M8, M9 and I
wonder how it will function with R lenses, very good I reckin.

you will focus, I believe, better with the XE1, than with the rangefinder on M
cameras, and the same or better than with SLR's as well....
(I have in the same way used the XE1 with the Noctilux at f1 and the Summilux
75mm at f1.4, with wonderful reproducible sharp focus)
best,
Steve
