Nice photos! They encourage me to take my lens out.

Do you use the view finder when you use this camera? I'm just wondering what you think of it. Especially for persons who wear reading glasses?

i always use viewfinder, i don't like using LCD for composing photographs, only when i need to take a shot in a position where i can't use the viewfinder (close to the ground for macro, for example)

viewfinder could be bigger but it get the job done, especially with manual lenses with magnify option.

as for reading glasses, i couldn't really tell you, i wear contact lenses

Thanks.
With the reading glasses I take them off to shoot and I adjust the diopter on my Canon. Is there a diopter to adjust on your
camera? That magnify option sounds useful.

i think there is +/- 2 diopter adjustment on the E-M5

yes, magnify is useful, you can set it at x5 , x7 , x10 and x14 magnification. it helps me focus much more precisely than with E-520 before
