I have recently purchased an E-PM2 which I am very happy with.

I am considering adding a viewfinder to it. The choice seems to be between the Olympus VF-2 and VF-3. I know where I can purchase a mint second hand VF-2 for the same price as a new VF-3. I have two questions:

1. Is the VF-2 definitely compatible with the E-PM2?

2. If it the VF-2 is compatible with the E-PM2 which of the two viewfinders should I buy?

Either the VF-2 or VF-3 can be used with the E-PM2. Just depends on how much you want to spend and whether having a finder that locks into place or has higher resolution is more important. The VF-3 has a locking mechanism and the VF-2 does not, but the VF-2 is the higher resolution unit. Sounds like you've taken the price difference out of the equation, so all that's left is deciding between resolution vs. the ability to lock the finder in place.

Only you can make that decision!
