That Panasonic gm1 looks pretty good to me

Who is making the 'proposed' 15 1.7?

Sounds perfect. 30mm... a touch longer than 28 and shorter than a 35. If this is nice and compact, it could rate as about the perfect street lens for me. V interesting!

The 12-32 looks to be very good. When I tried one on my GX7 last year I wasn't able to focus. The firmware to allow focus control with the GX7 had not been released at that time. The lens did work well on the unserialized preproduction GM1. The only thing I found lacking was a focus ring on the lens barrel. Manual focus is accomplished with the thumbwheel on the GX7. Preferring MF I don't think this amazing little lens will be on my must have list.

Well I decided that the gm1 was probably too small for me after watching some utube videos of some actually use. Plus the limit of the real shutter to 1/500th second and u need to use an electronic shutter above that was the other issue. It was the luminous landscape writeup that had me thinking if it was too small, which started me looking at the various videos and thinking about how touch screen dependent this camera is vs the gx7...

I recently found a used gx7 body at a price I could live w/. I am planning to mate it w/ the 12-32 lens now that it can be pre-ordered as a separate item from the gm1.. Plus all the various m43 lenses I have acquired over the years.. The pany 20f1.7 will probably be used as the default lens until the 12-32 starts shipping.
