So far this is the lens that has impressed me the most on this camera (or maybe it's the photographer), but I happen to have this lens, so all I need now is ...20 1.7

Thanks for the reply Jono.Hi There Guy
I'm afraid I haven't even tried any of them . . . I might try some of the R lenses, but I don't have a m4/3 to R adapter at the moment.
Manual focusing in general works okay on a tripod for macro, but I find it pretty disturbing when you're trying to get the composition right and it keeps zooming in and out.
I guess that in the end I decided that I wasn't really going to use either camera for manual focus lenses - that's what the M9 is for.
Two things spring to mind.
1. Focus peaking is the best
2. the stabilisation on the OMD would be wonderful.
A draw perhaps!
all the best
Beautiful, thanks Jono :clap:
with the 25 f1.4 panaleica (returning the compliment)
Here it is with both grips and the Leica R 180 f2.8 APO
The only R lens I have has been converted to a Nikon mount (100 2.8 Macro) but I am interested in getting some more to try.Guy - if you have some R lenses, they're actually rather gorgeous on the OMD
Well you could just get a Nikon/M43 adapter and still use it.The only R lens I have has been converted to a Nikon mount (100 2.8 Macro) but I am interested in getting some more to try.
Is there a good site to read about the R lenses? I'm not looking for the rarest or most collectable, but rather those which might be the most useful to own. Obviously the 180 2.8 APO looks superb.
I realize that without describing what I want to do with them more specifically, this is a bit of a weak question. My thinking is that I rarely use longer than a 50mm on the M9 so I guess the R lenses would need to be longer than 50mm as otherwise I'll stay with the M.
Thank you Bart . . . Simone I'm sorry, I missed this until Bart pointed it out.This one is for Jonoslack: you seem to have both 12-50 and 14-150. I currently have the latter, but the former intrigues me for the macro capability, and despite overall negative reviews you can read on the web, the pictures coming out of it seem very good. How do the 2 zooms compare? Would you recommend swapping one for the other as a general purpose walk around lens?
Thanks
Simone
Lovely images. Especially like the last two.My (black) OM-D has arrived, and I'm testing and adjusting setting ...
I tried some of my "more difficult" lenses with it, longer lenses with which I seldom shot satisfying results on the Panasonic bodies ...
Here's some results on the OM-D
OM-D with Nikkor 180/2.8 ED
With Leica Hektor 135/4
I'm quite impressed with the IBIS on this camera !

Thanks for your reply Jono.Keep what you've got (if I were you!).
:clap::clap: great pictures! what kind of adapter do you use? is it fully manual with adapter? Thanks for sharing! Greetz !!My (black) OM-D has arrived, and I'm testing and adjusting setting ...

thanks, Easyki ! I'm using cheap adapters from Ebay, the cheapest I can find. I once bought expensive ones from Fotodiox (the pro-stuff with a shift mechanism and a tripod collar) and they were no good at all !:clap::clap: great pictures! what kind of adapter do you use? is it fully manual with adapter? Thanks for sharing! Greetz !!
