I am not knowledgeable at all about the 4/3 system or any photographic
developments over the last couple of years so I'm not sure how much exif
data is true, I'm assuming some form of adaptor was used ? because I
didn't know a 60 macro existed for 4/3 (I've looked this evening), I
find the "compulsory flash" statement in the exif data rather amusing too.

You are too kind about my French, I speak fluently but cannot write
accents or plurals, and I keep on getting the word "?clair" or
"?clairage" pop into my head for "flash". I don't really understand 4/3,
what the magnification factor is, I understand the cameras are smaller
but the Leica 25mm f1.4 is still listed as 525 g which is too heavy for
me (I can put on too many clothes or turn too quickly with an unzipped
coat, and I end up hospitalised). I'm not an equipment freak, but please
explain a bit more about this L1.
