GF2 is not quite a good camera if you care about picture quality - DSLR cameras usually are much better. Also m43 lenses are expensive, especially in the sense of performance-cost ratio. GF2 does not have a remote shutter port, the biggest negative for me, besides picture quality. I bought it because it is small, and LD wanted to take our baby's photos by herself. This camera is kind of for her, although I know she will not really take photography seriously. But this is a good 'reason' I pamper myself:) I am debating the LX5 also. Also do not like the fact that it does not take any electronic remote shutter release.
14-42 is not a good one at all. It is not sharp no matter how you play, feels like inexpensive ps pictures. 14mm lens is not a good one either. I will return it. I will also return the new GF3. I am not quite happy with GF2, either. But for the price, better than ps cameras image quality, I will bear with it. The 20mm lens is kind of tooooo expensive, but have to buy it, other wise, why m43 camera? Basically, GF2, GF3 are not for those people who are not even satisfied with APS-C DSLR picture qualities. To be honest, GF2, GF3 are so far away from my old D60, and several prime Nikon DX G lenses are much much better and less expensive. So now I, for the first time, appreciate Nikon pricing. For the size, maybe LX5 is a better choice, and do not need to buy extremely expensive m43 primes -- it has Leica lens! OK, may be I will buy LX7 in the future.

What is the difference between 20mm and 14mm? The price of 14mm on Taobao is 800 rmb. It is really cheap.

There are several I might be interested in: 105 G VR, 70-200, 135D,... But do not need them for now. Bought a couple N -> m43 adapters. Thing of use the 40G for portrait on GF2.

With flash indoor, GF2+14-42 pictures are much better. Compared with D60+35G+flash. Not at same level. Maybe 20mm will do a much better job. Will get it on Monday. 14-42 has very large native distortions. GF2 corrects distortions transparent to user. This is where sharpness was killed.

狗头 does not worth much, but convenient and light weight for casual shooting. Sometimes I only take D60+35G and 18-55 in the notebook bag to go with me everywhere. Before D60, I usually carried N70+ 50/1.8D and 35-80. 35/1.8G large distortion but sharper. 35/2.0D less distortion + FX, but not as sharp 50/1.8D almost distortion free, want to keep. 50/1.4D large aperture 50/1.8G sharp, but relative large distortions 50/1,4G - do not want it for its distortions too large for 50mm.

Pocketwizard for N cannot be fully functional for C, and for C... However, if do not need TTL, can be used on both N and C. But why PW then? 20$ remote trigger set will do the same if do not need TTL. SB800 and 600 can work on film bodies fully functional. I usually use 3 flashes for portraits, so 3 pw transceivers and one transmitter. What is good about sb9xx? Bigger? Brighter? Light pattern?
pocketwizard for N can do ttl remotely? How do you control the ratio of flash intensity by pocketwizard? What's the difference between for N and for C? SB9xx is the newest one, so I assume it is better (I don't know the details, like the guide no, etc.)
