Stan, I've been using the O-ME53 for about 10 years. Had the rubber
fall apart on two of them. I'm pretty sure that it will vignette
heavily on a Full Frame viewfinder. Of course it won't effect the
photo, but it will make evaluating composition a bit of a pain. I found
it very helpful manually focusing, especially with the K20D in which I
had a KatzEye screen installed. I really wish that Ricoh sold a repair
kit because I really hate to throw away good optics when something
unrelated fails.

Hi Stan,
Are you using single-point focus? I can usually slip around branches to shoot a
bird in the bush if I carefully place the focus point on the bird’s head. With
multi-point focus, the camera will always lock onto whatever is in the
foreground.

Paul, I have focus mode set to AF-C, Spot, using back-button only.
Usually I find the 24-70 and 70-200 to be very quick and accurate - this time I
think the target was too small, too many intervening branches, my screwup as
much or more than the camera. But still I can totally relate every time Larry
mentions his in-focus mic shots!
Do you (or anybody) use the O-ME53 magnifying eyecup? I bought this several
camera models go and it has been migrating forward through the successive
generations. The rubber eyecup is about to fall apart, I can’t decide if I
should be thinking of ordering a replacement because I can’t really see all
that much benefit.
