Anyone out there have one/used one? Are the results just as impressive as the 'naked' GR?

(feel free to post images!)

I use it on my GR. Sharpness is very good. It only causes some CA in the corners (easily fixed) and it isn't really flare resistant.

Here are 2 largish examples from my GR+GW3:

Works really well, totally worth the modest price, and it really opens up the creative options of the GR

Only downside I found was some issues with flare due to the big front element hanging out there, but that can be said for most any wide angle.

Camera certainly is no longer pocketable with the adapter either, but its got a pretty nice and quick on/off with the adapter tube so its easy to carry overall.

Btw, for those considering buying the GW-3: don't forget to also buy the GH-3 adapter. Otherwise you can't attach it to the GR.
