The ability to use the M lenses on the body with good results is a delicious bonus. Even then, I agree with what George has said in the past, namely that most cameras work best with the system lenses designed for it--I am very pleased with the results I get from the 20mm pancake and the 7-14mm. But having the equivalent of an f1.4/100mm Summilux as an option is not shabby either :-) Cheers, Nathan On 29 Dec, 2010, at 22:05 , Geoff Hopkinson wrote: > Thanks Harrison (and others contributing).
