Thanks for the replies about my noob question concerning an EP-1 or some other economical micro 4/3 camera; I couldn't get to a computer for a couple of days. Any thoughts about macro lenses for such a system? That will make everything more expensive, and almost makes me want to downgrade to an LX3 P&S or something similar. If only there were some digital body that could accept the Contax G rangefinder lenses, but the mount and drive are very odd. I adore that 28mm Biogon.

Holy silver halide... I saw that and just about fainted. I see no customer reviews. Anyone had experience with fotodiox products? I saw one for a different fotodiox adapter and it was not enthusiastic.
It's a pity the 28mm won't fit but my 45mm and 90mm will.

There is another adapter coming out, more here.

By the way, does anyone have thoughts on the EP1's alleged "blur anomaly?"

The EP1 continues to appeal now that it looks like it can use Contax G lenses and double as a source of HD movie clips, and the silver/black zoom kit is available new for as low as $660 as of this writing. But this potential blur anomaly spooks me.

I went with the split ring- it just seems sturdier.

I bought the split ring with a rubber bumper. Works great!

i would love to see what the E-p1 +20/1.7 combo looks like.
Which strap is this? I thought it was an artist and artisan one, but I can't find brown ones....

I wish I hadn't sold my LX3 though.

It is indeed an artisan and artist strap - I got it from the map camera store in shinjuku. I couldn't tell you a model name or anything, but it's a really lovely strap (if a little short)

Burkey: is that the 37mm cokin hood made for point and shoots? Is stackable on top of a 37mm filter)?
