I haven't had much of a chance to go through all the images, but I enclose three for your perusal. Fortunately, the weather cooperated. The 350, effective focal length (efl) on a 100mm Canon f2 prime lens, is achieved through the G1's general 2x factor when attaching an M lens with an adapter, and an additional boost by using their "optical zoom"- which though using the center of the image (thus reducing the megapixels), Panasonic claims does not degrade the image. One must presume they mean degrading as against the digital zoom- which I don't use.
