I received following picture and infos from “Reality Scanner”. He writes:

“have a look a my little experiment:
Lumix GF1 with Leica Visoflex and Elmar 3.5/65 mm Macro

P.S.: I attached the Visoflex with the Lumix micro-FourThirds-Leica-M-Adapter.
Regretably the release-lever of the Visoflex does not meet the GF1 release button. for taking photos you have to arrest the mirror flipped up.”

Here the links to amazon with availability info (I got the availability data from Panasonic, not from amazon):

Panasonic GF1 with 14-45mm Lens ($899,95) Available early October

Panasonic GF1 with 20mm f/1.7 lens ($899,95) Available in October

Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 lens – Availability early October

Panasonic 45mm f/2.8 lens – Available in November

UPDATE: I made a mistake. The GF1+14-45 lens will be available early October!
