Since you are also a Caananite, I hope to get some kind of a
real-world comparison about noise from you! I sort of decided that
this had become a religious issue some time ago.

I have not yet tried Live View B with the 90/2. I decided that in
Hawaii the DZ 14-54 would give me as much macro as I would likely need
(provided the Bogen would give me the working room). If you are like
me, you may find LV B useful in focusing your longer Zuikos manually
(but of course you'll need to get an adapter).
