I LOVE this camera. The EVF is the best one on the market, hands down, no questions asked, and I have tried them ALL. It is especially good in low light; where others are terribly distracting and annoying, the GX8 is downright delicious to look through in low light. I hope Leica pulls in their EVF tech for future cameras. As for lenses, I swear by the Leica DG 15mm f/1.7 Summliux. It's on par with M-level Summilux lenses in my opinion. I love shooting my M and my Monochrome but I get a tremendous amount of joy out of the GX8.
