Hi all,

In anticipation of the release of the Lumix S1 & S1R cameras I was hopeful that they'd have a "native" lens mount for the R lenses, only to be disappointed and frustrated yet again.

Not only is the body expensive compared to other full-frame options, but to use the R lenses, one would have to add an R to L mount for another $800US.

It seems that most folks on this list have moved on to other brands. Perhaps that's the wisest option.
