This is probably a dumb question. I am thinking about purchasing a used olympus zuikio 24mm 2.8 lens. I have the adaptor so I could use this on my E-P1. Here's the question - would it be a 24mm or would it end up it being 48mm (I think due to the camera's sensor size)? I guess an analogy id my M.Zuikio 17mm 2.8 lens really is a 34mm. Does that make sense?

Any assistance would be appreciated!!

It will still be a 24mm lens, that doesn't change. The sensor will only capture the central part of image giving you a Field of View or a 48mm.

That is the simple explaination,

If you use hyper-focal pre-focusing, you can use the marks for 2/stops under to set the lens on...
OK, for f/8 as the set f/stop, use f/16 on the hyper-focus scale.....

Hope this helps.
