C-Mount Fujian 35mm 1.7 first try

First time tried to use a manual C mount lens.  Find it hard to focus without the 5x magnification and no EVF/focus peaking.  I use the focus peaking hack but i find that 2x teleconverter and squinting on the LCD is more accurate.  I am using Olympus EPM2 body.

Anyway tried to focus on the front horse / wheel.

Any tips on manual focusing on lens without the electrical contacts?

That's about the best I could do too.  I use peaking to get close, then magnification to get finer focus.  My fn button does the magnification and my red button does the peaking.
