Olympus Pen - F lenses for E-p1/2 ?
« on: December 13, 2009, 06:51:07 PM »
As far as the use of legacy lenses on the E-P1/2 goes, the very compact Pen-F lenses would be the most obvious candidates. Has anyone out there any info an that?

Hi there!

PEN F lenses have been used by a variety of forum members with adapters (one was homemade as I recall, I'm looking for that thread right now) and they are fairly easily adaptable.

They do make adapters for the Pen F lenses, I'm not sure why you don't see more of them talked about. Maybe because they can still be expensive and are not as often seen for sale. Aren't some of them fixed focus (the wide angles)? If so, they might be more difficult to adapt since the registration distance would have to be exact.

Many thanks Administrator. I am expecting my E-P2 in a week. I will start hunting for Pen-F lenses!

I think I once saw one for sale in the marketplace. Not much gets posted there, but you should keep checking it.
