The VF-2 provides an excellent quality EVF, it (and the Panasonic G1/G2/GH1/GH2 EVFs) are pretty much the state of the art in these devices. Much more convenient and useful than the Hoodman LCD loupe approach to me.
Stan mentioned that he feels it is a little insecure when fitted and I've heard that from others. A little bit of museum putty squeezed into the hot-shoe rails will secure it nicely and is easy to remove cleanly. I used to have to do that for one or another of my add-on optical viewfinders with the Leica ages ago ... one of them used to drop out whenever I put the camera in my bag.
