But assuming it is true, I am quite sceptical about the utility of this lens. The point of using it is to shoot at f0.95, obviously. And given my experience focusing the 90mm Elmarit on the GF-1, I think that the % of usable images would be below 10%. As others have said, most cameras work best as a system with the lenses designed for it, and my conclusion is that despite the automatic magnification feature of the GF-1 when focusing manually etc., the GF-1 works best with MFT autofocus lenses.
