[Leica] R mount lenses on Micro Four Thirds

[lug at steveunsworth.co.uk (Steve Unsworth)]

Based on my experience of trying M lenses with a GF-1 I'd prefer the GF-1 
lenses to M or R ones (ok, the only lens I have at the moment is the 
fantastic 20mm <grin>). Mainly because using an M lens is so slow, and I've 
fond that using the rear screen for critical focussing is near impossible in 
bright daylight because it's impossible to see enough detail to judge the 
focus point - maybe the viewfinder would improve matters.
