The Panasonic G1 was just too enticing to resist. It arrived
yesterday. I put the FourThirds to micro43 adapter on it, then a
Pentax K to FourThirds adapter on that, fitted a Pentax-A 2x-S Rear
Converter and a Pentax-M 50mm f/1.4 lens.
Here's a quick hand-held test shot with the Pentax combo lens setup
made at ISO 400 and f/2.8, about 1/400 sec exposure:

One of the neat things about using adapted lenses on this camera is
that you can see the actual effect of stopping down the lens live
without the viewfinder getting dark. Exposure system is very accurate
and the MF Assist magnification works beautifully.
The field of view with this combo is a little long for hand holding,
for me anyway, so I doubt I'll use it much. The imaging qualities are
quite nice, though ... it is kinda funny looking on the camera ... a
quick snap:
