Hi Luggers,
I am continuing to play with Esther's G1 and the newly acquired 45 -  
200 Lumix zoom
Here is a picture of Esther, long suffering wife and photo subject of  
40 years,
taken with the Lumix zoom set at 84mm, f4.5 @ 1/125, processed in CS4.

In an interview posted on Digital Review, Panasonic states that the G1  
performed
in camera lens corrections when using Lumix lenses.

Panasonic points out that Leica doesn't allow them to do digital  
correction on Leica lenses so there
are no Leica lenses for the Micro 4/3rds system.


Please look at the photo enlarged.
C&C always welcome.
Cheers
Howard
