I use my 90 Summicron on my GH1 too, but the GF1 I am not so sure about. I 
had an Olympus E-P1 and sold it since I could not get used to holding it 
away from my face to focus and compose. Even with the in-body stabilisation 
I was struggling with the 90 wide open. I changed for an E-P2 (with 
accessory viewfinder) and that works well, though I prefer the GH2 
ergonomics.
