Scott - Roger Rubin and I are both using G1's with Leica lenses and  
are really happy with the results.  You can find some of my recent  
images with the camera here:

and here:

OTH, everything isn't rosy.  Corner performance with the shorter  
lenses is pretty poor.  My test results are here:

I actual use, though, I rarely see the corner problem since subjects  
are generally much further from the camera than in the tests and the  
fuzziness tends to be hidden in the image.  It's a great combination.


Regards,

Dick
