On my FourThirds format Olympus E-330, the Leica Panasonic 25mm f1.4 
Summilux frames like a 50mm "normal" lens. Howard Cummer sold me the 
lens awhile back, and I have enjoyed using it in low-light 
situations. (Thanks again, Howard!) A new series of photos starts at:

The Summilux, plus the Live View flip-screen and autofocus of the 
E-330 make for a creative combination.  The auto-focus is not always 
the greatest in very low light, so I sometimes manually focus on 
something, then try to shoot at that distance. Anyone else using this lens?
