Mmm? No comments on our GF1 samples?

RAW files will be added later today to the JPEGs for anyone who wants a go at adapting their RAW converter to work with them.

I've also added descriptive captions to some of the sample images, especially for the My Color effects mode samples.

Ian, I certainly found them useful because a lot of them were taken with the 1.7/20, thanks!

Couldn't open the raw files in ACR 5.4, but Picasa 3 did the job. No corrections on CA and distortion here, so the naked lens performance can be judged and it doesn't look all that bad.

well i've found the 3200ISO quite acceptable.

the 20/1.7... i'm not that pleased. i like the detail of the face at 1.7, but the tree bark is just a huge mess... maybe it was the af that missed something there or has problems with heavy "rippled bumpy" textures.

the bokeh of the lens, for me, it's not very good. i prefer my pentacon at 1.8 that this at 1.7 but hey... this one is a pancake so it's better not to compare them

Peder, do you still have your M2? You will be able to use your M-series lenses on the GF1 if you use an adapter.
