    Any new camera better for my needs than the G1?

    I am still using a Panasonic G1 and am quite satisfied with it. A lot of new cameras having appeared in the meantime from both Panasonic and Olympus, such as the E-P5, I wonder whether any of them will fit my particular needs even better. Here the MUST HAVE - Easy and precise focusing and...

    Searching for a shirt-pocket camera with RAW capture capability

    I am using various “Pro” cameras that all have their merits: Leica M8, Leica R9 with DMR, Panasonic G1 and Nikon D700. All of them give excellent results but all are quite heavy and bulky to carry around. I was missing many shots because I did not have a camera on me when I needed. The best...

    A superfast Tele on the G1

    Some time ago I had bought a 75mm/1.3 Kilfitt Zoomar that I had never been able to put to good use before. It comes in a Leica Screw Mount and attaches easily to the G1 via a LSM->m4/3 adapter, focusing from infinity down to approx. 30cm. It covers the whole 4/3 frame with no noticeable...

    Problems with Nikon, M42 and Cameflex adapters on G1

    I bought these adapters from China via ebay and they do not work well. - The Nikon adapter focuses at Infinity when the lens distance scale shows 1.5 meters, making zone focusing and close focus impossible - The M42 adapter has an incomatible thread, you have to force-screw the lens in and it...

    Petition for an R10

    I have a heavy investment in R glass, including for instance the 35-70/2.8 Vario Elmarit. For the time being, and before resolving to go the Leotax path, I use the R lenses on the G1. It would not look too difficult nor extremely expensive to build (perhaps by Panasonic) a full-format G1 with...

    Question on f-value vs. T-Value, luminosity, DOF

    Some lenses, particularly adapted motion picture lenses, such as Speed Panchros or Kinoptik, show both the (for us) usual f-Value, as the T-Value. For instance, my 25mm Kinoptik shows an f/value of 2.0 and a T/value of 2.5. On the diaphragm setting ring, only the T-values are indicated. Same for...
