In reply to Researching Again, 7 months ago

For me the answer was no. I tried them side by side at the local Best Buy and couldn't tell enough of a difference to go to the 65. My a57 + 18-135 just showed up from Brown yesterday. Just playing around the house I can say I'm pretty happy with the performance of the viewfinder in a variety of indoor lighting situations.

Enjoy!
