GX85 vs gx8, gx7 viewfinder
1

Maybe its my age (72) or my tinted glasses but I just got the GX85 and despite its stellar IQ, I find the viewfinder almost useless in bright light and the back screen much worse. I use a Canon 7dMKII and sold my lx7 with evf for the GX85. I was looking for a lighter kit to use without bringing the Canon all the time.

Is the viewfinder in the GX8 or GX7 better/brighter? I like the features of the GX85, but  believe I will sell it because of this problem. I don't want the same problem with its replacement. Any comments, comparisons, suggestions?
