My biggest issue with the NX11 EVF is contrast, which is much lower than I'm used to on my HV and A7 Mark II, and black level which seems too high due to excessive illumination. Regardless, I think you've made an important point - and that is, everyone's view of EVFs - and specific implementations of them - is different. Personally, I'm not keen on the NX11's EVF (and some other aspects of the camera too, as it happens) - but it's still a great little camera. The EVF works - it allows me to frame pictures and see to a sufficient degree of detail what I'm focusing on, and for me that's what matters most. It does its job. I suspect @mee (and many other people) want a close-to-optical-viewfinder-like experience, whereas my expectations are to have an equivalent of LiveView through a viewfinder (since that's all an EVF is). As a result, I'm less likely to be disappointed by what's on offer.

What has to be factored in is the co$t of the glass....how much to set up to the standard that the individual wants.The $$$ony kit lenses dont have a great reputation.The A7 doesnt work with the AF adapters(maybe one for EF mount???)
I agree completely - the K-1 offers best value in FF if it meets your needs. The reason I bought my A7 MkII instead of the K-1 was to have a full-frame body that I could use with a wide range of adapted lenses - primarily my Soviet SLR and rangefinder glass, but also K-mount, as well as Minolta AF / Sony A-mount which works in full AF with the LA-EA4 adapter (I have numerous lenses in A-mount for my Hasselblad HV). Now that I have the HV and A7II, I simply can't justify a K-1 as well, however much I'd love to own one (and I really would
).
The original A7 is compatible with the LA-EA4, which gives you access to some nice older Minolta AF glass as well as newer Sony A-mount.
Interestingly, I don't own a single native E-mount lens. The only AF lenses I use are my A-mount models. Otherwise, I shoot manual focus with M42, M39 (SLR and rangefinder), K-mount, a couple of Nikon F-mount lenses and one Leica M-mount
