Re: Here's a concerning comment about Panasonic Viewfinders

An online friend who's gotten incredibly beautiful pictures out of her EM1 ii, mainly with the Panasonic 100-400 and 12-35, switched from Panasonic to the EM1 ii because of problems she had had with the Panasonic viewfinders deteriorating. Here's what she said about those:

" I'm unlikely to go back to Panasonic after the problems I had with the EVF on both the GH3 and GH4 - both of which ended up with the external lens over this ending up crazed and blurred and needing the whole EVF unit to be replaced. They appeared to have some sort of coating that failed over time looking like miniature crazy paving on the surface (which then rubbed off), when viewed with a magnifying glass"

Wondering if anyone else has had problems with Panasonic viewfinders or perhaps the rare possibility that this lady had some sort of makeup on that affected the viewfinder.
