Klaus, you seems to have a lot of C mount lenses, do you use a lot the Micro 4/3 system ? I have one GH1 and don't like it, I can't focus right with it, I still need a good Stigmo !

I like it a lot, especially since it is so small and light!
Try to use the use the "focus assist" function (left
button on the pad with the middle button), works
very well for me to check for correct focus. You
can even navigate to the area you want in focus.
