Is anyone shooting with the Panasonic 25mm 1.4 lens with the panasonic adaptor? Using the adaptor, do you get auto focus function, etc? Is it a great lens?
 
Actually, I have the Panasonic 25mm 1.4. Yes the autofocus device works but not so fast. The lens was expensive and I am not totally convinced. I also own the 1.7 Pancake and I found it easier and much much lighter to use.
 
There was however, a youtube sample showing the 25mm 1.4 on the GH2. The AF looked to be very fast, search it out.
 
AF isn't that slow. But for video it will NOT do continuous autofocus if that's what you're after. You can re-autofocus during a shot but it's very loud to do so and would definitely be heard on any mic. Image quality on it is wonderful though.
