How about a Crumpler

If i'm going to get a tele lens for my GF1, 45-200mm will be the one I gonna get (OIS being the obvious factor)

That's even better

I hope it's a friendly price

Shashinki (or even Yamiya) should be safe, I have purchased a Crumpler bag in Shashinki before.

But how close?

Apart of the suggestion from other folks, there's also a minimum focus distance you need to take into consideration. It's 0.2m for 20mm lens and 0.3m for 14-45mm lens (assuming you're using one of these)

I think maintaining a dedicated m43 thread will be great, since they are pretty much different things - no mirror, different lens mount and user group etc.

Just my 2 cents

Sell your kidney to buy it

That's "the" lens for M43 (if you're talking about native lens)

I bought a Gorillapod SLR for my GF1! Gonna play with it tonight hopefully it won't fall off -.-

Yeah... gonna try it for some time first before doing this at my balcony at 11th floor

Most probably light trails from cars, will try to get some nice shots from it

Thanks, that's actually a good idea!

See their FAQ
http://noktor.com/faq.php

Where are Noktor lenses manufactured?
The HyperPrime 50mm F0.95 is manufactured in Japan by Goyo Optical Inc.

And take a look at Goyo Optical website:
http://www.goyooptical.com/

It seems like they use Goyo's CCTV lens and convert the lens mount to suit M43. It's probably much cheaper if you source for a CCTV lens yourself and get a C-mount adapter

How much?

with 20mm and 14-45mm in my lineup now, I'm now targeting the 7-14mm next (prefer shooting wide than tele)

But that will be at least one year from now since the lens itself is more expensive than the camera + kit lens

Expect announcement that there will be Sigma Micro Four Thirds lens soon!

Both are good cameras. At the end of the day it's up to personal preference. You probably know it already since you've read a lot of review, so I'm probably stating the obvious:

Get E-P2 if you:
- Really need the great EVF bundled with it
- Have a lot of legacy lenses and planning to use them on your Micro Four Thirds (E-P2 has In-body image stabilizer, GF-1 depends on Lens)
- Want better JPEG out of camera (the colour is known to be more vibrant compare to GF-1)

Get GF-1 if you:
- Need faster AF speed
- Need better LCD screen
- Need the built-in flash

I just got this from Tokyo for 4900 Yen
