I don't use autofocus but can confirm that any other thing works fine with the 45-175mm and the leica 25mm. Even my 521PFI remote controller works great for focusing with them.
 
Diego;

Does your 521pf allow the iris to open fully on any of your Lumix lenses? I currently have a VariZoom controller that works well enough, aside from closing down every lens just a little bit.
 
@mcbob,
my 521 PFI doesn't allow any lens to be wide open or fully stopped down (e.g. it opens the 25mm up to f1.9, the 45-175mm up to f.5 and so on).
I asked Manfrotto about it but I'm still waiting for a feedback from the tech guy there. Apparently, they were not aware of this issue.
At the moment, when I need the missing extra stop I set the controller to auto iris and adjust the auto-iris sensitivity in camera.

One side note, the aperture clic of the 25mm is way less noisy on my AF100 than on the GH2.
