How'd you find the AF or did you MF? How did you find the 18mm 2.0? Been considering adding it to my kit.

Here are three from the 35/1.4 lens, two of which are using the macro function. I'm very pleased with the camera and lens on the whole, but there are some relatively minor things I hope are addressed in firmware upgrades. I hope the aperture chattering is fixed and that, in doing so, I will actually be able to use the EVF to focus at the aperture I've set on the lens (darned difficult to determine focus / depth of field otherwise). Even with power save on, the AF speed doesnt bother me though.
Images are jpegs slightly edited in capture one pro 6. It was my first time using that program, which appears to be quite nice. I think I will stick to lightroom though, since I'm used to it and I can use silver efex in lightroom.

The AF worked fine. Definitely not as peppy as a D700, but as I wrote in your "Achilles' heel" thread, I wasn't expecting dSLR-level AF performance, only Contax G2-level & that expectation has been met. I have shrunk down the AF area ("virtual RF patch") & paid close attention to where I aim that area. I didn't use true MF at all for this show (so far, I've only tried that in Macro mode), though I did try using the AF via the AE-L/AF-L button in M mode a couple times (even slower, but you get a distance readout).
The 18/2 is also good enough for me, a little reminiscent of the Cosina 28/1.9 Ultron in LTM, i.e., lower contrast wide open than Leica ASPH glass, but still delivers (more like pre-ASPH Leica).

Had my first proper chance to test out the 60mm today - seems like a very good lens to me. These are straight out of camera Jpegs at 1600 ISO.
f3.2:

35mm @ f1.6, 200 ISO

35mm @ f2.8, 800 ISO
I was waiting for the girls to be under the blooming tree but I shot instinctively when I saw the boys turning their heads to look at them.

Spyro: Really nice set.
JHutchins: You post some good photos! However, I see some extremely heavy compression going on, the images look really pixelated, that takes a bit away from them for me.
