I keep PSCS4 Bridge open all day without problems. I couldn't live
without it. No wonkiness here.

I suspect some enterprising fellow could come up with EF, N, SA and

does use servo controlled focus and aperture so there's obviously a
source of power.
It's probably more trouble than it's worth, especially since a G1
with
say an 85L on the front would handle pretty badly.
I'd say it's mostly a waste too. There are plenty of excellent
lenses which
can be used with simple mount adapters around, no need to spend a
bunch of
time and money adapting fancy dancy electronic lenses from other
mounts for
no reason. For that matter, the Olympus 50-200/2.8-3.5 and 150/2, for
instance, give way more facility and work brilliantly (manual focus
only)
... and are better than *most* of the vintage glass anyway.
There's a couple lenses that could really be interesting (Particularly
the fast 200's from Nikon and Canon). But overall I'd agree with you,
too many other options.
Oh, I picked up a red G1 myself. Liking it so far, but still
figuring
out my workflow. Bridge CS3 seems to be allergic to the DNG's right
now.
Never upgraded to CS3 so I can't help there, but DNGs with DNG
Converter
v5.2 should be useable.
Lightroom 2.2 does brilliantly with the .RW2 files directly, as
does Camera
Raw v5.2 (in Photoshop CS4 or latest versions of PSE).

I mostly had to kick Bridge a bit, it gets wonky when it's open too
long. But it's still insisting on not allowing me to open DNG's in
Camera RAW without kicking them to PS, which does slow work down a
bit. Ah, well, it's working better than the other option (Silkypix,
Ugh!)
