Re: Using OM lens with E-PM2 newbie question

The OM 50/1.8 is very good on m4/3, I have used a couple (with different results) on both an E-P1 and G6. Not as sharp as the 45/1.8, nor as convenient, but definitely useful. And cheap.

The main problem you will have is judging focus, with no EVF and no focus peaking you will need to use magnified view which wasn't implemented at all well on the E-P1; maybe it is better on the E-PM2 (it isn't good on the E-PM1, either).

Pretty much any cheap adapter will do, the advantage f the OM lenses is that the adapter don't need any release button or moving parts. I prefer adapters with tripod mounts, so they can support heavier lenses without straining the camera.
