Yes, m43 has what they call a 2x "crop factor" compared to 35mm lens focal lengths.

I know the EVF question is a bit old, sorry for not replying sooner, but I almost exclusively use the EVF on my GH1. That's partially because I'm used to using a viewfinder with film cameras and partially because I find it easier to take good shots that way. I use the LCD for macro shots and off angles (like holding the camera above a crowd).

I usually use manual lenses in aperture priority mode, and yes, the camera automatically adjusts the sensitivity during videos. I don't think I've shot a video in manual mode, so I don't know that off of the top of my head.

I haven't used the G10, but on my GH1, you can use the focus assist with legacy lenses by pressing the left-arrow button. The camera will not automatically engage the focus assist like it does with m43 lenses.

Vivitar made a wide variety of lenses and many were quite good.  Their high-end line of lenses are labeled as "Series 1"

I purchased mine from JinFinance on eBay (called the RJ camera accessory store)

Great video keep up the good work.

Does the magnification double when using an fd lens on a micro four thirds. For example, a 50mm on an old slr would be equivalent to 100mm on a micro four thirds
