I have a couple of fantastic older manual Nikon lenses that I use with my LUMIX GX9, and I love that combo. I have a simple cheap adapter, and the shots I get with the 300mm ai-s are stunning, I love that combo. As it’s a crop sensor, my lovely 1.2 50mm becomes more of a portrait/tele lens, but if that bothers you then a speed booster like the Metabones isn’t silly money, and gets you back down towards the original focal length.
I’m really hoping that there’s a GX9ii in the pipeline as I love mine but would appreciate a couple of upgrades, like phase detect etc. However, I think that the GX9 is still a very, very hard camera to beat for street and travel, and the range of lenses available for M4/3 makes it very versatile.
Easily done! I’m constantly thinking I’ve found an answer to a question about the GX9, reading for a while, and then realising it’s about the G9, and it’s not relevant to my body. It’s a shame it’s not been updated yet, I really love this little camera and think that with a few updates, it could rival the Fuji x100 series in many ways.
