Hi Richard,
I put my Elmarit 19mm V 1 on the G1

and took comparison pictures with the M8

Here's the 19mm on the G1

The M8 image has been adjusted to be the same size as the G1 image so  
corner comparisons are not very viable.
The 19 is too big to be balanced on such small camera bodies. I prefer  
to use it on my Nikon D700 where it produces very
satisfactory images for a 35 year old lens.

Cheers
Howard
