A pleasure, Richard.
Yes, now that I have got to grips with the system for magnification, it seems
that the only other accessory that I *might* need is the electronic viewfinder.
But since, a) the Panny one is a bit ... panny, and b) I normally use the
20/1.7 alone, the small Helios optical viewfinder mounted on the hot-shoe is
sufficient for when the light is too bright to use the LCD screen.
Cheers
Chris
