So the gis of it is still not clear. Manual lens is "better lens" because image quality, based on own comparison, or preference or "better lens" because pretty,physical metal,easier to manually focus etc?

Only 5DII + 24-105mm f/4 + 50mm f/1.8 is probably more than enough and would make your trip much more enjoyable and allow you to walk further. Maybe 2 day Venice and 5 days Florence instead. Longkang gets tiresome in photos after a while ;)

Judging from your reply, "better lens" actually means better because of longer with bigger aperture. Would you say or did you find if you take same picture, same scene, same settings, comparing same crop factor, Nokton is better than Panny 20mm in terms of sharpness or other technical factors...

I'm guessing you're talking about longer focal length with bigger apertures, like 40mm f/1.4. From what I read, focal lengths below 35mm causes edge and corner smearing in all examples and that's actually a lousier image quality. I'm sure manual focus works very well on the Panasonic 20mm f/1.7 ?

Better picture quality or just physical lens quality?

Please do share your experience and maybe your photos as well. I did a bit of reading online. While most were excited with legacy lenses on m43, the following site compared objectively and stated that legacy lenses won't provide any better images. Thus I'm led to believe mounting these old...

I did some reading up here and online and seems like there are genuine considerations to weight between both systems. The Micro 4/3 have mature camera bodies with all the instant manual controls that'll make me comfortable coming from a DSLR. Unfortunately the 2X focal length is an issue and...

Is it actually worth jumping into Micro 4/3 format to try out M-lenses? I'm a DSLR user and I've always been curious to try rangefinder and leica cameras. Unfortunately I lacked the financial resources in the past (when I had time) and now lack of time to dabble with film again. Judging from...
