Thanks RustyBug, but I actually was already a member (120/4 Macro). I was actually intending to pick up the 150/2.8 A, but ended up with the 3.5 through a communication problem (hence the "I wasn't planning this..") The lens isn't the 2.8A, but it seems to give a decent IQ, and it's quite compact for a 150mm.
The C 150/3.5 does produce decent IQ. The A 150/2.8 produces excellent IQ. Of course, the f/2.8 is bigger, heavier, and more spendy.

Most recent purchases are Contax G 28/2.8 in Leica M mount and Voigtlander 25/.95 mFT mount.
Man I really want both that GH2 AND the 25 f/.95. The GH2 is going to be the next digital camera I buy for sure. I have really enjoyed working with the GF1.

I still have my GF1, and I doubt I'll sell it. I really like it with the 20/1.7 lens.
The GH2 and 25/.95 is a great combo. The lens is pretty sharp at .95, and you would need the EVF of the GH2 ( G1, and GH1 too ) to get the sharpest focus. Lens is built like a tank--very well made.

I use the GF1 with the 14 and 20mm pancake lenses and they are just total gems. I do have the EVF for it as well and it works ok, but I would really like to see the EVF on the GH series. At least I'm able to focus my Canon FD lenses with it.

om 40mm f/2: I had one of those - nice little lens. But I find the value so inflated I had to sell it, just couldn't keep the $ tied up in it.
My recent purchases: RZ67 75mm shift *and* RZ 75mm short barrel+T/S adapter+ground glass back. Somewhat redundant but the dedicated shift lens has twice the shift of the T/S adapter.

Tair 135mm f/2.8 and Voigtlander 58mm f/1.4 SLII. Both are lovely and unexpectedly both have similar background rendering...VERY smooth transitions that give almost a pearlescent look to OOF highlights. Loads of fun in store once the weather shapes up.
