One of the neat things about using adapted lenses on this camera

accurate and the MF Assist magnification works beautifully.

I find it very usable, and in many situations much moreso than
optical
viewfinders ... either SLR or RF. The way the viewfinder amps up in

light allows me to see the subject and focus point better than
either of the
optical viewfinder types despite the noise and lag. The MF Assist

well, even in low light.
Am I reading this right? You are saying that for older lenses that
need
stop down metering, the G1 works better than a DSLR viewfinder
because the electronic viewfinder partly compensates for the
stopping down.
Until the light levels get very low, it completely compensates for the
stopped down iris. At the limits it gets noisy and eventually gives up
the ghost, but conditions like that would have an optical viewfinder
too dark to see long before.
