Indeed. It might make more sense to simply get the DA 12-24mm. That gives you the same maximum FOV as the 9-18mm on an MFT system, without the need to buy a new camera.

Since I actually posted here for the first time in a couple months, I may as well share some shots.

Just bought a Lumix G2 with two old Canon FDn primes to go portrait tele and macro.

The 50mm is great fun for portrait:

$60 is a real bargain for that fine lens.

The 200 macro is a very special lens you must use a tripod.

MFT is really interesting!

Laurentiu Cristofor · 08-30-2012, 07:00 PM

A couple more shots from the Nokton 17.5:

And one from the kit 14-42 lens:

TKH · 08-31-2012, 02:29 PM

I must buy a macro light.
The dof is the problem. The G2 only works good up to Iso 400, so with Iso 800 I cannot catch the whole fly:

What do you mean by this statement, how does ISO directly affect DOF?

gtl · 09-02-2012, 09:54 PM

I guess he means he can't stop down aperture one stop and compensate with a higher ISO to get the exposure right with acceptable noise....

Laurentiu Cristofor · 09-08-2012, 03:16 PM

A few shots with a Jupiter-9 LTM version:

I dare say, good chap, your garage looks like mine. *puff* *puff*

Except for the varmint.

Oly EPL2 wit Panasonic 14mm. If anyone knows what flower this is, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

No idea, but I like the second shot.

I used today the same combo of E-PL2 and 14/2.5:
