Thanks.  It's doing wonders for my upper body strength too!  Prolly come
at you offlist.

Living at the widest apertures as you do, I can see your point.  The VF
size of E cameras has not been much of a factor for me.  I know there is
a difference between the E-410, E-620, and E-3, but I am quite as happy
with the first two as the E-3.  Over time I guess I may have
internalized what is going to happen at various stops and rely on the VF
mainly for composition.  LV is great for focus accuracy, but I never use
it for anything else.

BTW which lenses did you acquire?
