[quote name='Brightcolours' timestamp='1305240259' post='8279']Put a 4/3rds lens on a micro 4/3rds camera, and you will see the same thing... Panasonic can be that fast because the lenses are designed with the contrast detect AF system from panasonic in mind. Only with micro 4/3rds lenses.[/quote]
According to PZ the Pana/Leica 25 mm f1.4 may be the only exception: "The lens may also be interesting for micro four-thirds users - the AF remains functional when using one of the Olympus/Panasonic adapters. The AF speed is fine here." As far as I know AF of all other FT lenses is sluggish on MFT cams (if it works at all).
