With the 20 on m4/3 you get exactly the field of view (and 
perspective, in all regards) of a 40 on 24x36, but you get more dof. 
Not as much as a 20 on 24x36 because you have to enlarge the picture 
more to get the same size, but you do get noticeably more dof.

I like the GF1 and 20 combo; I've used the camera with the other 
lenses, but the 20 is the one that makes the most sense on this 
camera.
