    Good morning. I am new to 4/3 photography. I've spent most of my life shooting film with both SLR and Rangefinder. I discovered 4/3 as a very reasonable option to a Leica M9 for digital work. I started with a new GF1, which I really enjoy, then obtained a used G1. I find that the EVF in the G1 makes focusing my M-mount lenses much easier. Still use the GF1 with a super wide 15mm though.

    I look forward to learning and sharing through this forum.

    Hi there,
    Welcome to the forum, like you I find the 15mm f/4.5 Voigtlander Super Wide-Helier an excellent match for the GF1 with the G1 providing a good match to other legacy lenses.

    I guess I should clarify, Yousef Karsh is a famous Canadian photographer, and the quote is his. Sorry. My name is John.
