Hi,
Found this forum while doing some research for GF1. Got mine along with the 20mm f1.7 this week and have not had much time to try it out, but the first thing I noticed was the sound of the focus motor. It feels like a friction sound. When I tried it with a 14-45mm in the store, I didn't hear this sound. After some research I've learned that this sound is normal, but I'm a little on the fence about returning the camera or not.
Unfortunately not much chance to play with various lenses on the camera in the stores, so I was wondering if somebody could could share their experience with this camera and different lenses. Is this noise prominent with all lenses and is it something that a future firmware update will "fix"?
Thanks in advance!
