No idea if this will be popular but I know we have a few L-Mount owners now, particularly with the recent, excellent offers on the Panasonic S5. If not, well, I'm happy to talk to myself!

The first thing I discovered is that finding gear (particularly used) is a nightmare, as it's often muddled in the Leica gear, sometimes Micro 4/3 and sometimes Sigma SA! The most foolproof technique I've worked out is to visit: https://usedlens.co.uk and then use the following search terms (one at a time) exactly as I've typed them below (with quotations)...
"l mount"
"l-mount"
"l fit"
MPB list L-Mount under Leica and they're always called "L Fit", although Used Lens will pick them up too.
For eBay don't use the specific mount filters, just search "l mount lens" and you'll pick up everything (plus some other random stuff).
Better have a photo I guess. My second photo with my S5 and 20-60mm. Always loved the clever Live Composite modes on the Micro 4/3 bodies so it's great to have the same functionality on a full-frame camera...
