Assuming it turns out to be real and not vaporware like so much of the recent Panasonic micro-4/3rds releases (14-140 zoom, 7-14 zoom, GH-1, M&R adapters), I'll probably buy one. I'd expect to use it with the Panasonic autofocus lenses, though. I don't see any way of focusing an M or R lens except in the now-classic P&S framing position. I suppose the attachable EVF is another possible manual focussing solution, but I'd want an optical finder in that hot shoe. As for the use of R glass on it, I can't help but think the Leitax adapter/D700 is a better solution for top image quality. But, maybe 9/9/09 will tell a different tale.
