The 12mm is a lovely lens, sharp at f1.4, all metal and weather resistant. They also do a superb 42.5 f1.2. Really liking the 8-18, more compact than the Olympus 7-14 and can use filters if required. Also the two zooms have ois so can utilise dual is with the bodies. Only got the G90 today, but first impressions are good, can charge in body via usb like the GX9.

How do you find the autofocusing on the GX9 using Panasonic lenses? Is DfD as fast as it should be?

Seems perfectly adequate to me, fact that I can't think of any issues sort of says it all really. Before going to m4/3 I used Fuji, focusing is equal to that and I believe that has quite a good reputation.

Never tried it on anything moving fast or erratically,  but that's not the sort of photography  I do. Anyway you have the E-M1X for that sort of thing, for my uses I'm very satisfied with the Panasonic set up
