I use an original 5D without lifeview! Those of you owning this lens, can you use it looking through the VF only?

It's quite usable looking through the viewfinder. Live view just adds another dimension. John

It was tougher, but still could make due. You will always use it on a tripod anyways, so you will always find yourself taking your time. So VF isn't THAT bad. -Andy-
