Chuck:
While the EVF compensates for aperture in normal exposures, it can/does (if set
up to do so) show exposure compensation in real time.

My only problem with it is that I haven't spent enough time with it and the
manual to know how everything works. For example, I don't know how to get
magnified focus but have encountered it and other things accidentally and not
known how I've arrived there. It hadn't been important enough to look it up
yet but I think it is now.
I should have known without trying it that the EVF would change screen
brightness as I reduced the aperture in order to keep giving me a WYSIWYG
display of exposure since the old Minolta A1 does the same. I was a bit
startled when I realized that I could both see to focus and see DoF using
manual focus/manual diaphgram lenses. It makes me wish I had my OM lens
arsenal here to play with but all but 2 of them (50/1.4,
24/2.8) are home. The 5D doesn't make me wish for that in the least.
