The Panasonic LC1 is not a Four-Thirds camera. Its sensor is quite different.
That is correct! Panasonic DMC-LC1 has a 2/3″ sensor, not a 4/3 camera. Its big brother, DMC-L1, is a 4/3 camera.
Mamma mia!
I imagine people getting away from you when shotting in the street!
Great!
Especially when you’re wearing your energy shielding aluminum foil hat! 😉
It looks like it was a fun project to figure out and do.
Those blobs I thought might be something like plumber’s epoxy putty… Epoxy clay? hmmmmm. That stuff might come in handy for my 7-14mm filter project.
Abatron makes that stuff…It is like $40/pint Plus shipping. AWESOME material!!!!!!!

If your dog chewed off part of your window sill….this is the product!
Excellent. Thanks for the tip! Looks like fun stuff!
I might chew the woodwork, the dog wouldn’t DARE! 😉
I’m cutting out the front plate of a 7-14mm lens cap (found the Panasonic spare parts page!) and epoxying a 72mm-77mm step-up ring to it. I’ll have to file the threads a bit to make it fit, but otherwise, it’s a perfect fit.
I hope it won’t melt my lens cap!
LC1 is not 4/3. The sensor is a small 2/3.
I am also not sure what I can looking at in that photo. A GH2 with a homemade tube attached and some plastic cap?
The guys above are correct. The LC1 is a fixed lens (fantastic Leica lens) non-4/3 camera with a Sony 2/3 in sensor. Its evil twin is the Leica Digilux 2. I luckily have each of these cameras. Great cameras.
but….why?
Ah, the answer to the question no one was asking.
