I am thinking of getting...
GH2 + GF2 + 20mm f1.7, 14-140mm etc.
and have a set of Nikon lenses, 3 Sinars, etc.
As I appreciate tilt for control of the plane of sharpest focus, the Lensbaby seem an obvious accessory.
Tilt with a (pseudo) DSLR with a view finder and long lenses (with still or video) seems a good idea.
It seems that most users use to the blur out excess detail, but for a set-up shot it would be great to get the camera and subject in focus (without getting the spare Sinar and digiback out of the box). ... and it would be a novelty to be able to get cricket batsmen and bowlers in focus with my Novoflex 400mm or 640mm lenses.
The lack of a view finder on tech cameras is less of pain now that we have live view, ...but you do not always have to carry a Mac book pro, a Sinar and a heavy tripod! and you only get good MF daylight live view (without an ND filter) on a heavy, expensive Sinar.
I would need an auto adapter in addition to the lensbaby.
