As a very early adopter of the m4/3 system in the days before there was a selection of good prime lenses I built up a collection of Cosina Voigtlander rangefinder lenses with the 39mm LTM. I had some success with these on the old 12Mp sensor G1 and GF1 but have found more edge smearing and dissatisfaction with the IQ in general when used on later 16Mp and 20Mp sensors.
Yesterday I took delivery of a secondhand GXR with a VF2 evf and an A12 M mount. Having an M bayonet to LTM adapter in my possession I've been able to mount my CV lenses comprising a full set, 12mm, 15mm, 21mm, 25mm, 35mm, 50mm and 75mm. So far I've only been able to take a few quick shots of the cottage I'm currently renting but the IQ is certainly encouraging me to explore this gem of a camera with this lens set and go back very much to photographic basics.
I've attached some shots using the 12mm, 15mm, 21mm, 25mm and 35mm, uncropped and out of the camera except for a touch of sharpening.

I think I'm falling in love with it!
