Yes ... Very nice photographs.
Simply superb photography esp the top one
I must look into this lens of yours
wonder if I can adopt it on my nikon... there are so many adapters being sold nowadays... wonder... 
... this one was with DMC FZ18, older camera -- with no interchangeable lens.
SLR cameras have come up with adapters for micro-4/3 lenses - do review which suits your camera especially from image stabilization perspective.
