haha I'm in the exact same boat with lenses, shooting style, and the confusion part. Sounds like I'm looking for the same thing in a lens, because I shoot very similar to what you described here. I also tried finding the Vol 0.95/25mm after seeing blooms G2 footage. I wanted to see if I could find some info on it...no luck with where to buy it though. I thought I was set on the oly like you were, then it seemed a bit expensive for me since it appeared I could get a similar lens (focal range) from canon for MUCH cheeper. Bloom gave the Canon 17-55 2.8 a great review. Now that you mentioned the Nikon I realized I hadn't checked them out at all. On new thread I just started asking about which people prefer, they mentioned "breathing", but I'm not sure which ones breath less. I'm not coming from a DSLR, so I have no experience with SLR lenses, and now I'm still just as confused. Maybe once I get the camera, I'll go to a camera shop and try some different lenses out. But it would be great if I could get things mostly sorted out by the time I get the cam, and have a really good idea of what lenses I want to buy.

I don't believe they've published such a chart yet, but that GH2 chart should probably apply directly to the AF100 since they're both modern products running the latest firmware. The AF100 has two focus modes on it, comparable to AFS and AFC; the AFS mode would be the "push auto" mode, and the "AFC" is when you push the lever over to full-time autofocus. I'm sure they will publish such a chart when the camera is released, but I would be very surprised if it didn't support at least everything the GH2 supports, if not more.
