Gf1 was £360 with the 14-44 lens.

35mm f1.7 was £40.

Will post some pics with the cheapie lens when they arrive.

It seems these CCTV camera lenses are a great way of getting shallow DOF on a micro 4/3rds.

And at £40 it is a no brainer.

Good choice. I have the Panasonic 20mm 1.7. Rather more than £40 but a good lens. I really want to try some of the Canon FD lenses on it, specifically the 50mm 1.8, but I don't have an adapter yet. There's lots of inspiring photos from this Flickr group: http://www.flickr.com/groups/1084614@N23/

I will Get a 20mm just for auto focus - but at £40 the 35mm is a no brainer.

Ten months ago the 20mmm Lumix F1.7 was pushing £300 quid on it's own.
Since then I've also bought the 14-44 and the 40-200 for the set. All excelent for my use.
