Christan,
First your macro photos are great. I have a G1 and the same FD 50 3.5 lens. I bought an adapter from an e-bay seller and when I attach my lens to the adapter and the adapter to the camera, I get a message: "Please check that the lens is attached correctly". Is there some adjustment that that you made to the GF1 to the menu system to have the camera recognize that there is an adapter and lens on the camera? Any help would appreciated since I am inspired by your photos with your GF1 and macro lens.
Thanks
Howard
Just go to CUSTOM MENU > SHOOT W/O LENS > ON ...
Chris
These are indeed great ... now, do you have any feedback to give on using the GF for this job? I love the angled screen and EVF on my G1 for such (but inferior to your) work.
Well, it's not really any different from using my Canon DSLR for macro, except for the lack of an OVF
... shooting under bright sunlight, the LCD isn't really useful for judging focus given the really shallow DOF, which was why I used the hoodloupe ...
Thanks
These are tremendous.... but g-d, I hate insects.

LOL ...
Beautiful, I wouldn't even know where to find these creatures, let alone take such nice shots of them. And the lens is on my 'sell' list, I may have to reconsider that...
Stefan
Thanks, I found this to be quite a nice macro lens. On micro 4/3, it becomes a 100mm macro ...
Yes, quite lovely. I too have the canon 3.5 macro (plus tubes), but have yet to try it out. Soon!
Looking forward to seeing your work
Really nice done, thanks for sharing
Manouch
Thanks
excellent shots, thanks but ewwwww on some of them bugs
LOL ...
Great images! Amongst the best insect shots I've ever seen.
Any chance you could show us a pic of your camera/flash setup? I have a G1, Nikkor 55/3.5 macro, extension tube and Vivitar 285HV that I might like to try on macro photography.....although it's unlikely I'll ever get results as good as yours.
Gary
Thanks, here's the setup I used for the above pics
BTW, for anyone who's thinking of using the Vivitar flashes, I would highly recommend that you test the trigger voltage with a multimeter first. Some old Vivitars have very high voltage and could fry your cam ... my 285HV had a max voltage of just below 6V ...
Also, just to note that I am using the Vivitar simply because I had a few lying around which I use for strobist shoots. I'm not recommending that ppl who are starting out from scratch to go out and buy a 285HV
... you're probably better off getting a newer flash unit that supports Pana/Oly TTL ...
