Is anyone here using the Olympus 9-18mm original 4/3 zoom adapted to a micro 4/3 E-P2 body? Can you give me some idea of how it's working for you?
I understand the AF will be slow compared to the micro 4/3 model. How is the focus accuracy?

focus accuracy is ok (if you let the AF finish its work).
focus speed is very (*) slow.
manual focusing works well: have the AF focus a point in the distance where you expect your objects, and leave the focus that way. you need to disable the power save to make continuous use of this kind of "scaleless scale focussing".
the lens is quite voluminous - i no longer carried a camera with lens attached, but a lens with a camera attached.
(*) i used it on the E-P1, which is said to be slow in autofocus anyway.

Thanks, sebastel.
The slow autofocus is not a big issue for me. I don't shoot a lot of dynamic subjects and I tend to zone focus a lot and let DOF work for me in micro 4/3.
