will MF-1 or MF-2 apapter work on my Olympus E-620 . I have 5 Zuiko lens 21mm to 65-200mm,and 1 sigma 600mm mirror from my OM2n. Please advise.

I think only the MF-1 "OM lens adaptor" will work with the E-620. The MF-2 is designed for the mirrorless micro four thirds cameras, like the E-PL1, and not the E-620. I have used the MF-1 with old manual focus OM-system lenses and I was very pleased with the results. You need to understand, though, that you have to set the aperture manually and focus manually also. I have a few sample shots taken with the MF-1 and E-300 at http://www.pbase.com/benparker5/olympus_e-300 if you are interested.

I'm new to Olympus with the OM-D series so I can't speak to your 520 question. If you want to use 4/3 lenses then you need the E-M1 because it has both phase detect (needed for 4/3) and contrast detect (needed by M43) autofocus. 4/3 lenses focus slowly on the E-M5 and it requires an adapter collar.

Yes, any 'M Zuiko' labeled lens works with any M43 body. The 12mm is quite sharp and very compact as well. Highly recommended.

I only use manual lenses with my E-620 and it works great. I use Nikon, Oly and Ziess lenses with adapters. You need to set the camera setting to MF, set the dial to M for manual controls. The E620 happily provides metering support for manual lenses regardless of Make. You would need to adjust the aperture manually on the lens and the Shutter Speed from the camera dial. Of course, you have to focus using the manual ring on the lens as well. That's it.

My understanding is that the OM system Zuiko and other aftermarket lenses with the OM mounts will work on the OM-D, with the following caveats:You will need an adapter sold by Olympus. Auto-focusing will not work, you must manually focus themThey will be larger and heavier than the MFT equivalent lenses because they are designed to throw a larger image area, however, this also means that there won't be any vignetting and the central image area will be used where the performance is the best.The lenses will appear to be more telephoto than when used on the original OM 35mm cameras because the sensor area is smaller than the 35mm frame so essentially you are cropping the image.

The lens is manual focus only. It has "near and far". If you are able to obtain a T-mount to fit your Olympus and the Opteka 650-1300 lens (matching threads) it would fit. You would have to set your Olympus to manual focus and shutter priority. Using a sturdy tripod, experiment with shutter speeds and film speed settings to find a proper exposure. It may also help setting camera on "timer" or using a remote for lessening "shake". I use both eye-level focus

The MegaGear case I bought was for the OM-D EM-5 camera. That lens is not listed by Olympus among the lenses for that camera. I did read that lens is suitable for four-thirds systems, but that is not the same as a MICRO four-thirds system, which my camera is. I bet that lens is intended for E-series cameras.

Yes it is ... Nice zoom for it's size. Can be used on any Panasonic or Olympus micro four thirds system. Like for example E-PL1 or GX1. Any lens labeled as M.zuiko it's for micro four thirds. Olympus has the zuiko and M.zuiko lines. The M translates to the micro 4/3 , while lenses without the M denomination refers to normal 4/3 lenses W. R. Williams ... I think you might be confused ... Also ... By reading the description it states the following ... "that comes standard with the PEN kit" The PEN line of cameras are all micro four thirds. Buy with confidence

I've never tried it with that body, but it should be compatible with any Olympus body, including the E-PL5. I've used the previous model, the VF-2 on the E-PL5 and this one is compatible with the VF-2, so it should work. A major improvement is that it locks in place.

They say that the Panasonic and Olympus MFT lenses are interchangeable so if it works on mine it should work on the OM-D E-M5. I would ask if they will accept a return in case it doesn't before ordering. But I have the Panasonic Lumix G5 and it works great. I have no complaints about the product.

I bought this to use with the E-PM1 and it works great. As long as your camera has a USB release plug, which I'm pretty sure that it does, it will work. Since the E-PM2 is compatible with the Olympus RM-UC1 Remote Cable Release just like the E-PM1, I'm fairly certain that it will work.

Yes you can. You must buy the OM Adapter "MF-1" to attach older Olympus' OM system lenses.

We're both using `em for the muse...I have a good friend who has an older model Olympus, and I'm working with him this evening; I'll ask him if he knows the answer.Jon

I would say NO, Sherrill. I bought the lens for my Olympus Mini-PM1, in the hope that at least I would get two images per frame. Yes, the lens fits on the Olympus, but the camera told me "lens not supported" - doh. Had to by another Panasonic body (Lumix GF6), as the lens was useless, otherwise. It now works (on the Panasonic body), but the results are disappointing, at best. What can one expect from the two lenses so close to each other? I would stay away from it. If you are interested in stereo photography, get a Fuji W3 Stereo camera (I have two...). They are very good, by comparison! Best, Hans I would say NO, Sherrill.

M mount adapters for Micro Four Thirds work on all Micro Four Thirds cameras, whether from Panasonic or Olympus. Understand that M lenses have to be focused manually, but they work without difficulty using an adapter.

I believe the O-MD E-M10 is a micro four thirds mount. So this lens will fit perfectly. When I used this lens on Olympus cameras you could use either IS system. The switch on the camera controls the lens, software controls the camera. You can even use them both at the same time (at least I did, but did not see any difference over using one at a time). The benefit of the lens IS is that it works using video. Some Olympus cameras (e-pm1 for example) cannot use the sensor based IS system when taking video, it uses digital IS which gives a rolling shutter effect (wobbely image). Hope that helps.

I have a Canon, so I am not sure if it will work on an Olympus or not. However, I would think if the lens is a 58mm, it should screw on to the lens without a problem, but I am just guessing.
