decent lens for GH-1?

I'm looking for a decent fast lens for the GH-1 (preferrably around F1.8 or lower)... are there any out there that use AF with this camera?

I've got an M-mount adapter and a manual F1.8 50mm lens, but since the micro GH1 uses only a small part of the lens to look through, I'm looking for something with better image quality and smooth slow AF if possible. I was hoping that Panny might have brought out a fast lens for this camera but looking around it looks like they haven't brought out many (if any) lenses yet..

Thanks for any help!
 
20mm f/1.7 Lumix which is not available anywhere yet, will work fine with AF but it makes sound and I'm not sure about video.. It's $400. Also there are various 4/3s lenses that will AF on M4/3 with the correct adapter, there are other threads on this.

Cheers Ben,

I'll wait for a dedicated panny lens to come out - easier. I have tried various lenses, such as M mount F1.8 50mm SLR lens, but because the GH-1 sensor sees a much smaller area of the glass than it was designed for, the resulting image quality isn't decent enough.

So, I think I'll have to stick to the stock lens and wait for Panny to make some more for this camera.
