I want to try some of my M > lenses on a Panasonic GH3. Probably the quality of the metals and machining precision. However - If you simply want to "try some of my M lenses" I'd recommend "trying" with the low end. If you discover that you "really like" working with M lenses on the GH3 you can always upgrade the adapter. I bought several 'cheap' adapters to use my R lenses on Canon bodies. I found that I prefer using Canon lenses on Canon bodies; and R lenses on R bodies; and am very glad that I didn't spend big to find that out. AND when rarely needed and/or appropriate - I CAN in fact use the 'cheap' adapters to accomplish the necessary tasks.
