Superb images folks!
The G1 with the 20/1.7 lens has become my "walkabout" camera lately. Here are a couple from my wanderings during the lunch hour today.
Some interesting buildings going up in Anchorage recently. The first one is a church, the second is a condo.

Some of my first shots as a late adapter to this lens. Glad I have it!
The first two are of a 25 m high artwork, called "Exposure" in Lelystad from the British sculptor Anthony Gormley. It weights 60 tons and is made of steel.
A very interesting project on a fantastic location. Gormley considers it as his most important public artwork till now.
The wether and timing were not ideal for photographing but it was great to see it.
The third one is from a house in a little town in the north of Holland.

Yes it was, although I was not consiously waiting all the time. 
Seen so many good results and raving about, the decision was not hard to make.

Re: Fun with the Lumix 20mm f/1.7 flash distance
It is nice to know that I can get an adapter to TTL use my 4 Metz flashs with the GH2 and the f1.7 I seem to be about to buy... but would I get enough light to light a large building like a cathedral? (without carting along my 4 1,500ws Elinchromes).
Simple arithmetic seems to suggest that at ISO12,800, f1.7, using two 76s and two 54s I would get a flash distance of 6,400 feet, or about 2km ... can this be any where near right?
I suppose it depends if the guide numbers are meters or feet?

Painting with Light
The old ones are the best:
Tripod+Time exposure+Painting with light.
You choose the best aperture and the lowest ISO for optimal quality.
Just walk around firing off your flash in the areas required. The good thing today is; you can just walk back to the camera and check your work on the rear screen.
ISO 12,800?

This is what I hope to use the lens for - natural looking low light pictures without the dreaded flash.A duplicate post from another thread. Feb 23 post to my daily photo blog:

Wide Open
I attended a first communion on Saturday - Got to the church and, surprise - dark interior!
Soo, I thought, let's see what this little lens can do wide open ...
Here are a couple of very satisfactory results:
Both images G1+20mm f/1.7 1/50@f/1.7 ISO200, plus here a tweak, there a tweak.
With a G1 anything above ISO200 in interiors like these is a no-no; will buy G3, promise.
With this lens you can shoot at f/1.7 and trust the results will be most satisfactory. Now, how many lenses have we come across that can deliver the goods wide open? Not many.
