phillym Posted January 29, 2010 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I recently bought a Panasonic GF1 with the 20mm pana lens. I am thinking about buying the micro 4/3 adapter to use my leica glass on it but not certain with the 2x magnification if it makes sense. The 20mm now gives me a field of view of 40mm and if I put the 18mm leica on it the field of view is basically the same. I would do this if the quality of a 8.5 x 11 print would be better. I was even thinking of the voightlander 15mm? Any comments would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

holgerf Posted January 29, 2010 Share #2 Posted January 29, 2010 You may read Steve Huff’s article Leica M to m4/3 Adapter. Worth it? | STEVE HUFF PHOTOS to this matter. Good site anyway. Best Holger Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsrockit Posted January 29, 2010 Share #3 Posted January 29, 2010 I think it is better to stick with the native lenses... Panasonic will be releasing a 14mm lens soon as well and that may be your best bet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrewer Posted January 30, 2010 Share #4 Posted January 30, 2010 If I had a GF1 I'd definitely get that adapter and mount my M lenses on it It's kind of like a stereo: put the best source at the front of the chain and it'll do more to make the music sound good than vice versa Which is where I differ with the "M lenses are too good for the sensor" crowd Go for it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandymc Posted January 30, 2010 Share #5 Posted January 30, 2010 Be aware that wide M lenses (less than say 50mm) show some spherical distortion in the corners on the GF1. Sean Reid's site has some comparisons, I think. Sandy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
