I am aware the G1 has a "Green label" edition,which i think enables it to a wider selection of lenses.Is this correct,and which lenses will fit the no Green label edition?
also,what are the main differences to the G2,apart from slower auto focusing speeds?

anyone ever compared a G1 Planar to a leica M?

They are a basic auto focus range finder..if you know what I mean. the G1 was a bit ropy and didnt do well The g2 is a whole lot better. Not aware of the lens issue. Will not hold value like a leica ... Stories of the whole kit boxed etc been given as presents to clients etc by some big companies a few years back..know someone who was given 2 sets!! At one time they realy had a problem selling them. Most never get used so can make a good Second hand deal.
