My GF1

When i told Fionis i got a GF1, she told me it sounded as if i have got a Girlfriend...well as much as i hope too, but its not. In fact, i don't know why Panasonic named this series of micro 4/3 with GF...

Nonetheless, i have gotten a great bargain for it and as such, i think im gonna shelf my plans for the canon 60D.

My first encounter with this camera was when i was on my East Java trip. Leon, my room mate, had one of it and generously lend me to try on the camera's capability. The greatest attraction for me was the compactness of this camera and the best part was that the image quality was rather good.

The only draw back on buying it was the lens for this camera arent cheap and to me, maintaining another range of lenses is exhaustive on my wallet!

So when i was back in Singapore, I did a search to see my Rangefinder lenses can be used on this m4/3 camera. It took me alot of effort to check and test and i nearly decided not to buy it and patiently wait for Canon new release 60D.

Who knows the next minute, someone released this minty camera at a really good price~!
I was drawn to buying it but hesitated and after a week, the price dropped even further and i grab it without further delay. I knew it was a great bargain and i was right, somehow people missed this thread and upon my confirmation, there was a huge crowd asking for it. Best part of it..it was the red version copy that i preferred over the blue and black!
So here it is! My new GF1!







Mounted on, my Voigtlander lens! Using this lens on this system is a breeze for me, especially when i tried film before!


Look...my 15mm Wide was a good range for this camera 2x crop body!


A shot i took(My new hobby, MUAY THAI boxing)...i was told that the GF1 inbuilt black and white is good...will try it tomo on Gene's big day!
