Re: E-PL6 vs E-P5

Adapting sounds interesting, but as you mentioned, it would take time to set up the shot due to the manual controls. I talked to my father today because I knew he had a Pentax ME Super and Pentax K mount lenses. Turns out he also has an older model with the M42 mount and the 50mm 1.4 lens for it. In the K mount he has the 50mm 1.7 lens and he thought he had a wide angle but hasn't found it. I know he had the 40mm 2.8 pancake but I think it and a second ME Super were damaged beyond repair when they fell into a lake.

In any case, I'm excited to try the 50mm lenses, as based on reviews they seem to be considered very good.

On a different note, too bad the Panasonic 25mm 1.7 lens is not available right now at the spectacular $99 price it was being sold for recently. I'm thinking that would have been a good start for a native lens on a budget.
