Not using it currently. If I ever get into Macro or Astro Photography I probably will.

I found the live view is an excellent option when using a Hoya R72 filter! I was amazed when I first tried it (it was accidentally turned on) while doing an IR photo. It showed the whole scene on the LCD, and makes focusing in IR real easy now :) I was amazed because I needed a 15 second exposure but it showed good on the LCD before the exposure ;)
It also comes in real handy (for me) when I am holding the camera away from me, ex. macro or even out the car window.
I also love to use it when taking sunrise/set photos, my eyes love it too :)

No need for it yet, but nice to know it's there if I do need it.
