The fatal flaw so far hasn't killed me dead yet, and I'm shooting a
summilux.
I rarely shoot a frame that doesn't get cropped, so maybe I would be
cropping the fatality right out of my shot anyhow, maybe not.
I even put a 24mm Nikkor on it and it looks pretty dang good. Sadly the
rear element is damaged some, so it is not really usable.
I like that I can focus a bright viewfinder in a dark room at f 8 or f 11,
something I never was able to do before with any camera. Focus assist and
auto iso is a near miracle.
