HI John,

To each his own, I just find the absence of an optical viewfinder very 
limiting. I do agree that some of the MFT lenses, especially the 1.7/20mm, are 
truly excellent.

I have shopped at Adorama several times, both in the pre-internet era (i.e. by 
phone) and more recently, and generally they have been OK.

Cheers,
Nathan
