thanks in advance, cosinaphile. 

just curious, do you own a e-p1? 

[cosinaphile]

i own a silver ep-1 with a black 14-42 kit zoom , a panny 45-200 ois m4\3, 2 cosina voigtlander manual focus lenses ,a 50 1.5 and a 28 1.9 and other stuff

im currently playing with some user adapted pentax auto 110 slr lenses manufactered in the 1980`s
a 24 2.8  a 50 2.8.     they are tiny, tiny lenses indeed. but with a perfectly adequate image circle for the m4\3 sensor

these lenses were 10 dollars US each and the ep-1 body cap i used for an adapter was $5

15 dollars each

the 24 is the size of a plastic soda bottle cap,     really!
its so tiny it almost looks absurd mounted on the ep-1,because of that, i recently finished a modifed "adapter" that i think is more aestheticly pleasing for the 24 2.8 pentax auto 110 on the ep-1  


i will post a picture shortly

they are mounted in extra body caps from b&h drilled  and affixed with a litle crazy glus at correct infinity focus . these fixed 2.8 lenses are a lot of fun, seriously limited by the fixed 2.8 apeture,
they are useful and very good none the less

check out 3 picture i posted in ep-1 user pics  taken  with these lenses to see how sharp and evenly exposed across the frame they are.

the 50 1s really remarkable,


i know you will enjoy your camera  tremendously
welcome
