Being left-eyed I have problems with most of the controls on the back of the
Z-1p. Wearing glasses definitely doesn't help either. I'll often end up with a
greasy thumb-knuckle-print on my glasses :)

I have a handle flash with a similar pair of dials. A previous owner had the
sense to super-glue a couple of bits of plastic to the inner dial which makes
things much easier.

Aaarrggghh!!!

Chrome lenses look nice on my K2 so I hope they make more. Even the
FA*24/2.0 looks good.

It may be similar to the Z-1p where the brightness of the viewfinder display
changes with the brightness of what's in the viewfinder.
