dave_d Posted November 28, 2012 Share #2 Posted November 28, 2012 Is that an R or M lens? How easy is it to focus? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neal Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share #3 Posted November 28, 2012 Sorry, it is an "M" lens and although you have to be careful in focusing it is not that difficult Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert blu Posted November 28, 2012 Share #4 Posted November 28, 2012 Very interesting, thanks. For what I can see it works well, I'm interested in this opportunity as well because I'm planning to have an OMD beside my Leica x1 and eventually use my 50mm M lens for the times I need a moderate tele (portraits...). May I ask which adapter did you use? Grazie robert Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kamuishirou1999 Posted November 28, 2012 Share #5 Posted November 28, 2012 Nice! I'm thinking about the OM-D but not entirely sold yet. Currently, I use some of my M lenses on my Olympus E-P2. I use the Rainbow Imaging adapter (http://www.rainbowimaging.biz/shop/product.php?id_product=67). I bought mine through Amazon.com. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
250swb Posted November 28, 2012 Share #6 Posted November 28, 2012 Sorry, it is an "M" lens and although you have to be careful in focusing it is not that difficult Don't know if you already know this, but if you press the Fn2 button and at the same time rotate the front dial you get a mini menu. Keeping Fn2 pressed use the dial to scroll to the magnify symbol. Set up this way one press on the Fn2 button magnify's the focus box, press again to revert to full view. If you touch the LCD screen on the focus box you can also change the size of the focus box. Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
