GH2 Recommendations

Hey all. I am getting the GH2 really soon. Now I am planning on buying just the body. Other than this I am planning on buying only 2 lens. They are prime and these are the focal lenghts I am looking at: 25mm and 35mm. What do you guys have to say about that? Should I get some thing like a 16mm instead of the 35mm? I like primes and would not want to go the zoom route. I have heard by many dps that it is best to start with one lens. Get to know it. Then gradually built up a collection. I'll still be getting two so that the other can help me out when I am in trouble.

Other than that help me out with battery decisions. What are my options? Narrative fiction is my line of work and it needs alot of batteries. Can I use those brick batteries that go for hours and hours? Please help me out in this. Thanks.
 
Depending on your budget, I'd go with the Lumnix 20mm and Super Takumar 50mm. I only own these two lenses and as of now these two are suiting my needs. I've seen a short film shot entirely with the 20mm. I'd say you're best option is to buy at least two more GH2 batteries and switch them out on the charger when you're shooting.
 
Anybody used a tamron adaptall lens? How are they? Especially the 17mm f3.5 and the 24mm f2.5... What adapter is required for them to mount on a GH2?
 
I have a sim ilar wish to start out with one lens.
If I had to choose just one, It'd be the nokton 25mm f/0.95.
That lens makes m43 unique and sort of says go-big-or-go-home lol but thats just me.
