Yesterday I watched a YouTube review by Gordon Laing that left me with the impression that the optical viewfinder only really works as intended with the 23mm prime, which is NOT the equivalent focal length of my preference. So I guess now I am interested primarily in the EVF.

The OVF in the Pro3 works fine and about the same with the 23, 35 and 50/56 as the OVF in the Pro2.  I pretty much only use the OFV on the XPro and have both.  I could use the OVF in the Pro2 with the 90 - but it's like slapping a 135 on a Leica M - it might work but who would want to? My 90 goes on my H1.  The 18 will work find in the Pro3 - although the frame is the frame no bright lines.  But I got used to that using a 28 in my M4 - not a big deal.

So the classic street lenses (18 through 56) work fine in the Pro3 as well as the Pro2.  But with the Pro3, the EVF has been significant improved.
