You are welcome! a good manual focusing system (including viewfinder and
focusing mechanism) is my first priority in choosing a camera, no matter it
is film or digital. For the exposure I always set -0.3 stop in my E-10, E-10
can provide very acceptable shoots with 1 stop under (of course you have to
do post adjustment in software) but a 0.3 stop over could kill some
important details where you cannot get back in software post adjustment.
