I have a Leica Digilux 2 and Panasonic L1 body .
Recently , I had the opportunity to buy another lens for either my Pentax k10d or new Panasonic G1 .
However , I was able to buy Olympus 14-42 and 40-150 for the L1 for just £180 used , mint .
Though the Leica f 2.8 zoom is great , the camera is so much more useable with the lighter , smaller lenses .
Maybe it's the de-ranged finder styling and handling , but it's still my prefered camera . It seems bulky but is lighter and about the same size as the K10d .
Maybe 4/3rds DSLRs are going to be obsolete as m43 takes hold , and the L1 is hardly an advertisment for the advantages of size of the format - but I am hoping my ' twins ' will give me many more years of pleasure .
