I have a LVF1 on my GF1 and I use it almost exclusively. The resolution is not very high and the size of the screen is small but for me it does OK. I don't like using the LCD for a number of reasons mainly the poor visibility in bright daylight and the awkward way of holding the camera.
I have used the LVF1 with a number of legacy lenses and it is useable with the focus magnification. This is the only LVF suitable for the GF1 (?GF2) so there are no alternatives. I understand that the LVF2 for GX1 is much better than the LVF1 which is what you'd expect for a later model.
