I love that mushroom shot, Vivek, it's an absolutely wonderful image.
Yes, great lens.:thumbs: One of my favorites. Even more useful than my 50/0.95.i have a pen FT with a 42mm f1.2 lens, same as in your opening shot; did you mention that lens? it looks like it would need an adapter...
I'll take this, Vivek.
First, there are no stupid questions.
Yep, to get the effective 35mm field of view for any lens on a G1, just use 2x by the focal length.
Very good. Meanwhile, though, I've been using ZM 21/2.8, which is superb on the G1 but still about 1 stop too slow, not as easy to focus as longer lenses, and not quite wide enough for reliable zone focusing under some conditions.Yep. In any case, the widest Pen F lens is 20mm, which isn't even all that wide on a Pen F. But it is a great tiny option until the 20/1.7 Panasonic lens comes out.
I guess if one puts a Pen F on a Panasonic that makes it a Pan F.
Vivek,The focal lengths remain the same and as I mentioned in the opening post, the pen F 42/1.2 is the perfect portrait lens for the m4/3rds sensor. Let me reiterate that this lens was tested to be the fuzzy one in the pen F line-up!:shocked:
Unless the PenF->OM adaptor has optics, it would be macro only (Given the formats and registers involved, I would assume that adaptor is actually an OM->PenF adaptor for using OM lenses on PenF, going the other way would not work very well).Would I be right in assuming to build an adapter for Pen F "all" you need is:
Pen F -> OM -> 4/3rds -> MFT?
Or is the Pen F -> OM adapter rare and expensive enough to mean its better to get a dedicated adapter?
Yep, its the other way round, d'oh! Oh well, we'll just wait for Vivek to start the production lineUnless the PenF->OM adaptor has optics, it would be macro only (Given the formats and registers involved, I would assume that adaptor is actually an OM->PenF adaptor for using OM lenses on PenF, going the other way would not work very well).
For PenF->m43, you'd want a dedicated adaptor since the register of PenF's is shorter than 4/3rds.
