Finally , I have a working charger for my ex-dem G1 .

I love the illusion of ' looking through ' an Idustar 61/LD , Jupiter 8 , CV 35 f2.5 , with the added ease of their being so compact .

Low light focusing is just so easy .

I am still not sure how I view it though .
It was bought more as a cost effective and flexible substitute for a compact / Canon G10 .
£280 is fine , but I am not sure that I would pay the same , or more , than a DSLR .
The folding screen allows it to be carried in my bag without fear of scratching the screen .

If I were to consider £500 or so , it would have to have an APSc sensor , and many more available lenses .

But as a small body for my Leica lenses , and shortly , Contax RF lenses ,
it's perfect .
I guess that my light 135 f 3.5 Rokkor will prove to be a useful 270 as it has been on the 4/3rds Leica Dig 3 .
 
Hi dee
Price sounds pretty good for an ex-demo G1.
Does it have a valid warranty?
I fancy going that way myself because I got hooked on the viewfinder when I tried one out a month or so back.
What are you doing for adapters for LTM lenses?
