[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have quite a few 4/3 lenses which I like but which do not autofocus with the Panasonic bodies. I tried the Olympus E-P1 which confirmed that I hate framing using the rear screen, as I suspected. I recently tried the Olympus E-P2 which has a higher resolution removable finder than the GF1, autofocuses with my legacy 4/3 lenses and FWIW has in body stabilisation. It is tiny. I bought it. For me it is a better choice than the GF-1. cheers, Frank On 10 Apr, 2010, at 04:18, Jayanand Govindaraj wrote: > If they improve the EVF on the GF1, I would buy it tomorrow.
