I haven't seen this camera talked about here very much...
In a moment of weakness, I saw the Panasonic GX9 body and thought, "Sheesh! That looks like a renovated, miniaturized, current version of my favorite old Panasonic L1 DSLR from 2006. And I have a whole bunch of lenses to use on Micro-FourThirds cameras...!" And then I found one, new body only for $500. Couldn't resist...
Panasonic GX9, black, body-only
Olympus Body Cap Lenses: 15mm f/8 & 9mm Fisheye f/8
I had the lenses already. The GX9 with the 15/8 body cap lens is just perfect for snapping about, light and compact for bicycle carry, etc.
So the other day, I fitted it with a Nikon F to m43 adapter, and fitted my cheap and crappy old Sigma 600mm f/8 mirror lens to the camera. A quick snap across the living room ... and then across to the Methodist Church across the street ...
Cool little camera, lots of fun.
