Well, all I can say is that when I was in London I called three stores who 
advertised them in stock and none of them actually had them.  I also talked 
to the manager of one of the chain stores (Jessups, maybe?) in Bognor and 
she said she couldn't get GF-1's or the 20 mm lens yet.  She did have some 
G-1's. 

Regards, 

Dick
