26 December, 2008 - Leica Lenses on a Panasonic G1 In the excitement over the
Canon 5D MKII,
Nikon D3x, and
Sony A900, the little
Panasonic G1 Micro 4/3 camera has been somehow overshadowed. But, I've been shooting with it regularly, and find that it is a very welcome tool for street photography, espefcially because of its palm-sized 40-200mm (90-400mm equivalent) lens. In fact today's somewhat seasonal (at least for snowy Toronto)
home page image was shot just a few days ago with this combo.
My friend
Sean Reid at
Reid Reviews has just done one of his comprehensive reports on the
Milich GT Lens Adaptor, which allows LSM (Leica Screw Mount) lenses to be used on this new camera.
There are adaptors coming for Leica M mount lenses as well, and I expect to review the first of these in January. In the meantime find out why the G1 and other forthcoming Micro 4/3 cameras are going to provide exciting versatility to literally hundreds of Leica and Leica compatible lenses. Red Reviews is a subscription site, but well worth your time and money.
