Those qualities are irrelevant for the majority of my studio work. I shoot handheld, constantly on the move (on the floor; up a ladder; shooting from beside or behind my subjects), and with strobes there is no way in hell that you can see what your exposure is going to be, EVF or not. How does an EVF improve on the focusing and framing of the 645's 100% OVF? I have never been able to manually focus better than since I started using the Z. Even through a soft focus filter like I did last weekend. I'm with Rob re EVF and studio. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
