You must be going ‘Not another blog entry about his E-P1!!!!’. Right? Hahaha. Okay, I’ll try get back to film and plastic cams this weekend. Anyway … my Pen F to M43 adapter arrived today. Luckily it is way thinner than the EF – M43 one and fits nicely between my E-P1 and an old F Zuiko 38mm f1.8 lens from my Olympus Pen F. So does the lens work okay on the E-P1?

I didn’t have much time to test it out just now and only took these few to at least know if it works.

The good old lens fits nicely on the E-P1 but too bad the lens ain’t white in colour.

With the 2X crop factor, the E-P1 makes this 38mm lens a little too long but I think it will be good for some closeups or portraits. Anyone wanna model for me?

The lens is pretty sharp! I must confess that I’ve never use the Pen F and this lens since the day I bought them. Maybe I should do so soon.

Another test shot of something that I can grab without moving my butt off the chair.

A little screwed up when I was focusing. Notice the ring is in focus when in actual fact I was trying to focus on the duckie’s eyes?

I certainly will be trying to put this lens to good use on the E-P1. The only problem is … how on earth do I turn on the MF Assist (enlarged view) on the E-P1 when I’m in Manual Focus mode? I know that if I use lenses meant for the cam, I can just switch to Manual Focus mode and the display will automatically be enlarged when I’m manual focusing to help my fuzzy old eyes see better. The problem is that when old lenses like this 38mm are mounted with an adapter … the MF Assist view doesn’t seem to appear … even when I tried toggling the various views by pressing the ‘INFO’ button. Hmm. I browsed the user manual but don’t seem to find the answer to it. Maybe I’ll go bug those people in the forums tomorrow and see if anyone can help.
