<p>I've been very happy with the CV 50/1.5 Nokton. I love the results on my M8 and M9.<br>

<p>The Panasonic 7-14 is a superb lens.</p>

<p>Or paint it black!</p>

<p>Apparently, from what I have been reading, using Lumix lenses on your EP1/2, will help cure some of the focus lag. </p>

<p>I have had some generics. They have all died and did not last long. A couple died in the camera, making the camera quite hot to the touch. I would stick to the Leica brand batteries. You spend 5K on a camera, don't ruin it by using a $5 battery.</p>

<p>Panasonic - very fast focus, no shutter lag, superb range of 4/3s lenses. <br>
5. Yes you can. </p>

<p>I would never send money other then PayPal. Money transfers are a sure sign of a scam. <br>
Sorry for your loss.</p>

<p>I have lived here for over 30 years. Don't worry, be happy. I see tourists on the train all the time with their gear hangin' out. I now live up in Harlem. No problems whatsoever. Everyone has a camera these days. </p>

<p>I used my early M4-2 for 26 years with no problems. I only sold it because I wanted a M8. Get it. Use it. Enjoy it.</p>

<p>Andrea, to be honest I can't remember. I all I remember is that I had to buy an additional lens mount to have the notches etched in for coding on the M8. Yes, the 25P.</p>

<p>Eugene Smith gave a presentation on his work at the first college I attended back in 1975. He had just finished Minamata. I'll never forget it. </p>

<p>I use the 24P on my M8. It is a great lens. You won't be disappointed. I purchased another lens mount, to have it coded and to bring up the correct frame lines, difficult to do here in the States, as Gandy, from whom I bought the lens, won't get one for you. I somehow came across a shop via the internet in either New Zealand or Australia, can't remember, and they were kind enough to order the replacement lens mount and ship it to me. They even sent me an exploded parts list for the 24P to make sure they would be ordering the correct part. Other then what Gandy says, the lens mount can be purchased separately. I had it coded by John Milich and the mount changed via a local camera repair. I use the UV/IR Cut filter as well. Sounds like a hassle, but it wasn't. Total cost including lens mount, shipping, and swapping out - $60.</p>

<p>Less then a week from Hong Kong. Go figure!</p>

<p>Akira is right. It is exactly the same as using the G1, except the menu functions are in a different place on the GF1. Make sure you check " shoot without lens " in the menu function and check manual focus.</p>
-
<p>I have one for sale, mint condition, box etc., for $110.</p>
-
<p>I highly recommend a Luigi leather strap.</p>
-
<p>I do a lot of street shooting. The Panasonic GF1 is fantastic. Virtually no lag.</p>
-
<p>I have both. Both are excellent cameras, though I am finding the GF-1's IQ to be better. People say it's the same chip, but there is a difference. I love that you can set the GF-1 ISO in small increments. I love the G1, but the GF-1 is a lot of fun for street shooting. It is built really well and with the 7-14 attached or the Olympus 17, it makes a wonderful small setup. </p>

<p>Marty was a great guy. Buddy was the master behind all the great conversions. I still remember Marty's Polaroid back for Nikon F cameras.</p>

<p>I have never sharpened my M8 files either. I use CS4. </p>

<p>I'm fattening up my first born!</p>
