Thanks to this forum and a lot of 'testing' hard work - I am ready to use my GF-1 and to get the best out of it. The rain and wind has finally cleared here (lasted about 7 days) so I hope to get some fine images this week.
I have set up my GF-1 + 20mm f1.7 Lens to handle very much like a 'rangefinder' camera but I have a feeling that I will have to get the external viewfinder to complete the experience!
One extra cost I did not expect was that I 'finally' had to get vary bi-focal glasses to enable me to walk about the street and yet read the LCD on the camera (my reading glasses were to much of a pain to keep putting on to read the LCD and to take off again to see whilst walking)
I have documented this learning curve and posted it on my web - hopefully it will be of use for others.

Many thanks for all your replies and assistance over the last few days.
