A friend told me to look out for mF/T to M mount in late December... are these available already?

If you plan to order... can I tag on your order for one Olympus mF/T to M mount adapter? trying to get it in anticipation of the Olympus mF/T launch.

Default I got my Panny G1!

Being dreaming about it for few weeks and today I finally got it!!!
Red color G1!!! LOL...heard from MScolor that each shop only has 1 and 5 black.
How true? I don't know?

Anyway...I think I have spent alot of money this month, 1 fish eye and a G1....sianz....talk about bad economy...and i am worried...lol...
Now charging the battery and will try it out maybe this weekend when I have sometime.

Good thing is that FL36 or FL50 can be use on it too.

This is a test image on JPEG using macro mode. No processing done.
Still playing with this camera, need sometime to understand it.
