has anyone used their GF2 with the PANASONIC DMW-LVF1 VIEWFINDER, what are the advantages and disadvantages, how do you find the viewfinder in general, any help greatfully appreciated. Thought it might be helpfull when focusing my Pentax 110 lenses manually with my GF2

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.
