Here are some still from a promo photoshoot for an MMA fighter. It was the GH2 with the 20mm 1.7
I synced to two flash units with a cable from a flash adapter trigger. I'd like to get some kind of wireless solutions for a little more freedom with these kinds of shoots.

Given a choice I'd rather shoot with a fullframe camera like the 5DMII but the GH2 can get the job done. I also shot a wedding with the GH2 and it did the job fine, but its knowing that your shooting within limitations... like it would be nice if there was a faster zoom in 4/3 like 14-45 2.8

Hi, mind me asking what flashes you use?
 
Shot with the 14-140 lens:

That's a great photo with that lens. I think a lot of people don't give it enough credit, it really is a nice sharp lens that's great for outdoor work
 
Thanks. I had reservations (unfounded) about the kit lens when I first got the camera. But it's sharp and can produce with good light.
 
GH2 above 800 ISO with some darker areas in the scene=noisy. Some of the Pan-Leica's are good quality, but the 14-140 has rather poor optics and photos don't have anywhere near the sharpness of a good lens

F4 is not slow on a new dslr with a full frame sensor, in my humble opinion. The 2.8 zooms by Canon are wonderful but gigantous in weight compared to some of the very good L series f4 lenses like the 70-200 IS. Slow is relative to the camera being used. Don't get me wrong, that extra stop is nice to have, but on a full frame camera, it's often not worth all the extra weight for what you get--bokeh can still be gorgeous too at f4, especically at the longer focal length and shorter distances.
