GH2 - Micro 4/3 lens vs. adapter with EF or similar

Hi, I wondered how many GH2 users here are using mainly m43 lenses on their GH2s, instead of an adapter with 35mm lenses?

This is a m43 lens I'm considering: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Panasonic...=UK_Lenses_Filters_Lenses&hash=item3cc89fc636

Though I'm wondering if it's a good idea to shell out a load of cash on 1 or more m43 lenses which are restricted in their use, or to go the Canon EF route and get an adapter.

What are peoples' experiences with these adapters? I've seen this one http://www.mtfservices.com/home.htm...egory_id=2&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=117
for £350, but in order to get any aperture control you have to get the control unit which is a further £645!

An extra £1000 to be able to use more widely-available lenses seems pretty steep.

Does anyone have any other suggestions as a work-around?
thanks
