Hi guys

I have a Lumix G buy want to switch to Digikux 3 as I was always happy with my Digikux 2 but fixed lens was a limitation . How do I go about but I g the right lens adaptor as I have a Leica lens mounted on my Lunix ? Thanks in advance

Try a Leica V-Lux, 25mm to 1600mm, an all-in-one type camera, 1" sensor, 57mb PS file. I shot a book with this camera (my main go-to camera) Action "Along the Hudson River"

I had a Digilux3 and used it as a backup to my Leica DMR/ R9. Leica R lenses will fit with an adapter. It has a 4/3rd mount so there are adapters to just about anything available. 
I found the camera clunky, the sensor so-so and the viewfinder dark and small. The V-Lux is a better choice as mentioned above.

If the V-Lux 5 appeals to you, act quickly as they are no longer made, so when the current stock runs out, that's it.  Peter overstated the long end of the zoom.  It is an equivalent of 25-400, but when shooting jpegs, you can use iZoom, an ingenious algorithm that interpolates the image to make it remarkably strong out to 800 mm equivalent.  To see some examples, go Vlux 5 thread in this section, many taken at "800."
