= blurred photos.

It has a shutter release button too.
I agree on the guy though, I think he could convince me to buy anything.

I think the GF2 plus pancake will be a great combo and hopefully value (because of high lens price) if the kit is priced right.
One of the videos/some of the images indicated that the pancake lens will be all black rather than black with the grey color. I think this is a big improvement. I wish I could have gotten my 20 mm f1.7 in black and my 17mm f2.8 in black as is offered now by olympus. It is the little things in life.

sebfarges
3 years ago |Yes, and I was very impressed filming with the Voigtlander !
sparedog
3 years ago |i have asked in a couple of forums if a third party could/would make them, or if a modder is somewhere modding them, but no answer yet.
