What really upsets me about the latest firmware and this applies to both the E-M1 MKII and the E-M1X.

No matter what I try with the latest updates, my manual focus lenses still can't auto focus. I've tried all the new settings and features and none of them allow AF with MF lenses.

I mean come on, what the heck is wrong with Olympus for goodness sake.

Danny <<<<< Very upset.

Danny,

Your just not doing it right, my MF lenses AF just fine on my mk2 and 1X with the new firmware.

The key is the already included organic adapter between the camera and lens focusing motor that utilises some of the fastest feedback loops known to humankind, the inbuilt processing capability of the adapter provides accurate fast AF functionality as long as the peaking is engaged via the firmware.

It has been found by testers that the zoom function can be useful in assisting the AF routines built into the adapter.
