Let's keep this short and sweet; I don't want to waist your time going into exhausting detail.
I haven't purchased a GF1 yet, but I am attracted to them for their size and modest look. I want a lens for this camera that that will yield the equiv. of 50mm (approx) and will be fast (1.8 or so or faster).
The main objective is to find a lens that that will produce some serious bokeh and shallow depth of field on portraits when taking torso to head shots on adults. I don't really care about auto focus or manual aperture, I'm open to all options. I checked out the 20mm f1.7 from Panasonic and am a little impressed, but overall the bokeh isn't as pretty as I would like. The voigtlander 25mm f0.95 looks pretty sexy, but 1. where the hell do I find it? and 2. it's a little out of my price range.
Being a beginner to these cameras I would appreciate your input on new and vintage lenses, just as long as they're something that are somewhat easy to find. This will be the only lens I will use the majority of the time, if not the only lens I own for this camera. I don't care about AF speed for sports or kid, etc.
thanks in advance
