I have been thinking of up grading my G5 for a GX9. I briefly had a GX85 and just could not get a sharp clear image in the VF no matter what I did plus I am left eye dominant which made the problem even worse. A long time ago I had a GX7 and did not find this issue

I did find it an issue with my GX7, exactly as you described for the GX85.

plus I remember the diopter being smooth with no clicks and the fact that it tilted made left eye viewing just fine. My question is does the GX9 have the same diopter as the GX85 and if so is it better. I really think the fact that the EVF tilts and there is a hood for it would make it the perfect camera.

I don't think it was the adjustable diopter causing it. I think it was the optics, being made down to a compact size.

If you are getting differing opinions on the same models, such as me differing from you wrt GX7, then I suggest you don't trust the comments in response to your question. By 'trust' I mean trust that you will experience it the same as others do.

So I think you really need to find one and try it.

cheers
