I'll be keen to see the results, I'd say they should be close WRT AOV and 
perspective however that's assuming that the lenses are actually optically the 
FLs that are printed upon them. WRT view-finders I find the same thing when I 
compare the finder views through my LX and 35mm lens and my M4 & 35/2.4 :-)
