Having better higher ISO is letting me use the f/2.8 lenses indoors again in low light.>Just curious as to your thoughts on that lens with the GH2.
In the past I did not use too slow lenses. But having usable higher ISO and small camera made me re-think.
Good daylight street lens and also essential for video.
Thanks, Rich. It is an amazing combination. So far I am thrilled with the results. A real step change up from the GF-1 but I am also pleased that the 20/1.7 is not revealed as being any less stellar by the increased resolution of the sensor.Nice shots Ryan and Amin.....
Louis.....those last two shots of yours are pretty amazing.....crisp, saturated, nice corner to corner sharpness......very nice little lens. I wish Panasonic would make a few more primes like this one.

To be fair, Helena, I never shoot in anything other than RAW. But with a GF-1 I would always have to do quite a bit of RAW processing in LR3 to get colours, luminosity and black point right. So far the capture from the GH-2 look right with little or no tweaking. I think that would suggest that JPEGs will also be much improved.Those look really good biglouis! You're making the GH2 seem very tempting. I really liked the G1 body, which I have heard have the same image quality as GF1, but wasn't at all happy with the JPG quality (especially white balance which could be way off when I least expected it). Do you think JPGs from GH2 are noticably better (if you have tried it)?
GH-2 20/1.7 - I'm amazed at how little post processing these pictures need. Just a little sharpening after resizing, is all.

I believe those zooms will come, probably from Olympus. This is probably also one of the reasons why we haven't seen a pro m43 body from them yet; there are simply no lenses to match. There is a 12-50mm f/2.5-3.3 rumoured to be released from Panasonic this spring btw.One question I have for those who are familiar with the format and the offerings: why aren't there more constant-aperture zoom lenses available for the format, say f/2.8? Seems the sensor size is small enough to allow a reasonably small zoom with such a design, at least given a reasonable zoom range (at least compared to my giant 17-55mm Canon EF-S). In my looking around, I seem to see pretty slow zooms. Is it a size thing, where the makers want to keep everything small?
Maybe I've missed something when looking around (?). Educate me.
Thanks...
looks very 3d and real!Does the GH2 still have some fans out there in GetDPI land?
Just received mine a week ago and finally had a chance to put one of my Leica R lenses on it today. Looking forward to trying out the video and comparing still images with my G1....which I always thought was pretty good.
