Frank, the frame lines in the Fuji X-Pro 1 finder adjust to the focal length, 
including when using the 18-55 zoom. When you put the camera in macro mode, it 
switches to EVF automatically so as to eliminate parallax error. Other than 
macro, I fail to see what advantage an EVF would ever have over a good optical 
finder.

Cheers,
Nathan
