50MM/100MM
February 16, 2010

This has been my preferred setup as of late, with the Canon EOS 50mm/1.4.
Sharp, fast lens, and a good proportion to the GF1 body as opposed to Mike's 100-400mm monster. Gripping the lens body feels more secure than the existing “grip” on the square GF1 body, one of the main gripes I have with the camera.
It doesn’t produce the same soft blue and green hues that the Elcan does, but produces a sharper image and more true to eye colour.
Although the 2.0x crop factor makes this lens a 100mm effective and the adapter limits the Canon EOS lens too full aperture (F1.4), I enjoy the challenge to compose a nice image.

We recently headed out of Auckland to Waiheke, then Matapouri for a friend’s special day. Here is a set I recently uploaded onto flickr with some test shots using the GF1/Canon EOS 50mm/1.4 combination.
