The adapter will probably be fine. I buy the cheap ones too. The OM 50 is a good lens. Don't pay too much for it. I've used one on several of the PEN's, including EPM1, EPL1, and EPL5. It's the same on all of them, except having the tilt LCD on the EPL5 was the best.

What's a reasonable price to pay for the OM 50, and are there things to watch-out for before buying?

Manual focus in magnify mode is pretty straight forward. You will need to program a button on the EPM2 to invoke magnify mode, but it does have two buttons for this purpose. EPM2 should do fine.

Any suggestion on which button to program for zoom?

Thanks!
