I am largely with George on this: most lenses work best with the bodies they were designed for. Mixing is possible but works well only in special circumstances. For example, yesterday I took this picture with a GF2 and Leica 75mm Summarit-M: http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/belgiangator/misc/20120815-_1000041.jpg.html This worked because the main subject was at inifinity, so there was no need for critical focusing. I also took another picture, of a backlit tree on the golf course, where focus was at 10-15 meters. In that case, I used the 10x magnification to help focus, and it did work as well--but of course the tree did not move! Any kind of moving subject, forget it.
