Richard Good Advice!
I have been using my G1 for 4 months now and have shot a good amount of film. I dont see any problems with the autofocus it is plenty fast and accurate. I like the size compared to the G2, if I want to carry a big camera I have a Nikon F4. Also in pitch black you cant see through the finder on either the g1 or g2 because the green led's are all you can see, this is where the G1 has the advantage over the G2 because it has focus assist light you can see. I just aim with the assist light and shoot....perfect results using the TLA 140. The G2 has an infra-red focussing beam meaning you cant see it so in pitch dark you are SOL.
The biggest drawback of the camera is the viewfinder and if using a lens hood you can see it in the bottom right corner in the frame. Also when shooting at close distances what you see in the frame is not always correct. I love my G1 and wouldnt trade it for anything else.
Im sure you will love the camera and you already know how good these lenses are!
