total garbage. why make us buy a new camera just for lens support
Please panasonic just give us the update. My GH1 still works great and I really want to use these lenses
Ridiculous that they wont support older bodies. I spent way too much money on these lenses for them to be half useful on my G1.
Step zoom is important i dont get why they would lock that behind a hardware wall. Firmware can fix this
Still using my GF1 and love it. Dont force me to switch brands just for some zoom features.
