Howard Maybe this has been asked before and I just missed it. When you
stop the R lens down, does the camera meter compensate correctly or does the
G1 have the same problem as the Canon DSLR's when you stop an R lens down?
And, if you know already, will the Leitax adapted lenses meter correctly on
the Nikon?
Thanks for showing your photos.

Subject: [LRflex] Telephoto R lenses on the Panasonic G1
Hello Flexers,
While waiting for my Leitax R > N bayonets to arrive, I have been
experimenting with
longer R lenses on the G1 using the Novoflex R > M and Rayqual M > Micro
4/3rds to
see what can be accomplished. I used my old 90 Summmicron R and my beloved
180 Telyt APO f3.4
and went out to the nearby beach to follow the activities of the local kite
surfing club.
The pictures are at:

The 90 Cron is quite easy to focus, especially using the 10X magnification
through the EVF.
There is magnified shaking of course but you can still bring the enlarged
image into sharp focus relatively
quickly and easily. When you close down the lens to gain some depth of field
both the EVF and Monitor on
the back of the G1 brighten up to compensate so you still see the image
clearly.
The 180 Telyt APO is harder to handle because the shaking is magnified that
much more and sometimes
you just lose sight of the portion of the image that you are trying to focus
on. Then you have to revert to the full
picture and take another run at it. This makes it harder to get sharp shots
when you have fast action like a kit surfer sailing
quickly along.
Still, from the pictures in the folder you can see that it can be done. When
my new bayonets arrive these lenses will
be dedicated to the Nikon D700 and putting them on the G1 will not be
possible without another adapter so I am
just having fun now while I can.
Please enjoy - all comments welcome as always.
Cheers
Howard
