4/3 lenses on OMD

Sharpshooter1 · Aug 1, 2012

Has anyone tried 4/3 lenses on the OMD ?

I took my 12-60 and 50-200 to the camera shop and hooked them up with the adaptor, seemed focus ok but I didn't have an sd card to save any images.

If the focus is acceptable to you, they will outperform current m43 zooms and on the OMD will do slightly better than on the E5, with a greater difference compared to other 43 bodies.

Other than size and weight, the only issue I have found is the time it takes to focus lock -- about 3 seconds.

That is much too slow for almost any moving object or subject. I have not yet had any success with C-AF either, but have spent only about 30 minutes trying it.
