Do you think the optical viewfinder is good? 85% coverage doesn´t sound impressive. Nice retro-styling but I would still prefer the Pana LX5 because it goes wider (24 mm).

Agreed 24mm would have been nicer but also more difficult to design.
I consider the viewfinder to be a fall-back for extreme situations. It will not be great fore sure but better than nothing (like on the LX5).
The manual zoom ring is nice.
What I don't like is the protruding lens with its dedicated lens cap. It's understandable from a design and quality perspective but as such it is probably not any more pocketable than a GF-3 with the upcoming X standard zoom.
