On the 75 'cron. No definite figures. I would just say, that it would be "comfortable".
I thought you were a biochemist Vivek, not a bloody politician:ROTFL:
comfortable indeed!
Terry - glad you got one too - seems you got the good deal. Are you still waiting for Stephen Gandy's adaptor, or do you have other plans?
How is your chaos going on? Ours is great - now we have the office . . with telephones, but no desks, and no internet:bugeyes::angry::lecture::clap:

Ha! Don't know what is worse (bio- or poli..)!
I am a plain Chemist with hyphenations along the way (materials-, nano-).
I am envious of Terry's current aboard. Though I stayed there only for a very short time (and did not even get any free time to wander around or even take snaps), it is a lovely, lovely area.

Jono - the chaos is getting better. First I haven't been on an airplane for a couple of weeks so I can get in a routine. Next, I have my car which makes life much easier. Seriously, I'm actually moving into my new apartment on Thursday. So, next weekend I will have a home. Think about starting a new apartment from scratch, dishes, sheets, towels everything. However, first with the help of Jack, I got my technology squared away (MBP + 30" cinema display +drobo). Next up the TV's believe it or not best deal (by a significant $ amount) I ordered from B&H in NY. The temporary apartment is now full of stuff that I need to load into the car and get moved but nice to know I'm on the downslope....Next up tackle getting sleep and not waking up at 4M everyday.:grin:

I'm terribly sorry to stick you in a bio bucket (I was a microbiologist of sorts, so I like to give everyone a bio-tag . . hmmm polibiotition)
Terry - of course, your chaos is much more chaotic than mine - I'm glad it's slowly getting sorted out.
As for sleep. . . . . I'm an expert, I can sleep anywhere, anytime, for as long as is available, the problem is waking up!

I bought a G1 yesterday, ex display, for around £390 including the kit lens. A lot of camera for the money and I'm excited about the possibility of using it with M lenses, in particular the ability of the camera to sense actual focus instead of relying on both the camera and the lens being correctly adjusted as on an M camera.
Wide angle is going to be a challenge but the 21mm Elmarit, WATE and CV 12/15 are interesting, as is the Zeiss 18mm/4.

Slightly off topic, but when are the 4/3 to M4/3 lens adapters available. Olympus has two pretty awesome zooms (7-14 and 11-22) that cover wide angles for the 4/3 series, and a nifty little 25/2.8 pancake lens that will go well with this format. (and they AF.)

Hi Scott
Vivek has it with the link - I bought mine from this guy, and he was fast and efficient.
be careful though - there are only a few lenses where the autofocus currently works on the G1, and neither of those are it. Mind you, I've been shooting all day with the 50mm macro and manual focusing, it really is very easy and quick . . . just not as quick as autofocus!
The pancake lens does autofocus, as does the 9-18 and a few others.

Scott, The Panasonic adapter for 4/3 to m4/3 is available now. Several of us here are already using it. Should be available from the usual sources by now (eg. B&H, Amazon, etc.). I've been trying it with the two 4/3 lenses I have (12-60 and 50-200 SWD) and although the image quality is excellent and manual focusing works very well, these particular lenses are just too large for the G1 IMO.
Regards,
Carl
i agree, the 75 cron is pretty tempting, a 150mm eq and using the sweet spot.
it occurs to me that I could make a series of extenders for close focusing without too much trouble. the easiest ones would be for the LTM mount, the female bayonets are a PIA, but i might get tricky...

John,
The Leica thread extension tubes are dime a dozen. Perhaps the difficult to find ones are the thinnest ones (6mm extension).
I would appreciate it if you would respond to my email query. Thanks!
