Subject: [Leica] What's the verdict out there on the Panasonic GF-1 and Leica M adapter?

Hello

In true Leica fashion, buying a $1000 item may be more appealing than a 
$250 "it'll do the job" item.

 After shopping a bit for a budget camcorder, it appears buying a GF1 
might satisfy my curiosity for having a second digital M, as well as hit 
my needs for the occasional video capture.

Is anyone out there using the GF1 for its video capabilities?   What do 
you think of its video capabilities?

What's the consensus out there for the Leica M adapter?  Is the 
Panasonic DMW-MA2M Leica M Adapter the way to go?  Or did one of the 
off-brands do everything that one needed (the prices on 'bay go from $40 
up to the Panasonic $270)


regards

Vick
