    haha, thank you! you're welcome dude, as i say if you have any questions email me! :D

    Also, one awesome thing about micro four thirds cameras is that you can use old four thirds lenses on them. These were made by olympus, canon, sigma, leica etc.

    and they are dirt cheap! the adapter to connect them to my GF1 cost £30, and i got a 50mm lens for £20, and a 135mm for £40 and they are very very sharp. They are manual focus though.

    For example, the 135mm handheld (with no image stabalisation remember) -

    then it was cropped down to this (with a bit of unsharp mask) -

    there are loooads of cheap old lenses! :D

    Also, if i buy a set of macro extension tubes that cost £10 for my 2 lenses - 135mm and 50mm it means i can shoot macro! like so (not my pics) -
    this was using Lumix GF1 + Canon FD f/3.5 Macro + Extension Tube


    RAWR!! (this was using a massive flash too!)
