Brian, Did you have a R to M4/3 adapter or did you stack adapters? (I guess there is no downside to stacking adapters, is there?) It is so exciting-- the possibilities that the G1 opens for us. The Leica R 50 f/2 and f/1.4 are both wonderful lenses. I used to adapt both on my Canons, but I no longer have either. I do have the Leica M 50 f/1.4 pre-ASPH sitting here waiting for its turn on the G1.Beautiful flower shots Cindy, and thanks for the compliment
The Panasonic G1 should be sold body only / with adapter - it's a fabulous solution for legacy lens users.
I tried it with the 50mm Leica R last weekend - what a beautiful lens, much much nicer to focus manually than fly-by-wire - but the 50mm f2 macro is an unbelievable lens.
Kind Regards
Brian
Terry, I am also going to hold off any more purchases until I try my Leica lenses on the G1. However, I do think that the 50 macro is going to be hard to beat. It just balances so nice on the G1.Interesting forehead.
Hi Cindy,
I was playing with the Oly 50 macro today in the store. Decided to hold out and see what happens with my 50 lux and 75 cron when the adapters are ready before committing to the 50 macro.
