People are using sooo much different glass on their GF1's and EP-1'2 etc..

What are you using?
Do you have a pic of it?

I have the 20mm f1.7...will post a pic soon
 
I have the 17mm Olympus and 12mm Voigtlander Heliar, both with matching finders. I also use a 90mm M-Rokkor. All shown here.

yehh... 30± lenses an counting th@t fit m4/3 ... from Angenieux to Ziess.

current favs... Kern Switar Macro 26mm 1.1, Cooke Speed Panchro Ser III 25mm T2.2, Noctilux E-58, and two fabulous cctv c-mounts (not telling, cause t' e-pay sharks will drive up their prices)...

Pentax 110

Pentax 110

Pentax 110 lenses are very small. The zoom 20-40 is big for 110 standards, but fits the GF1 nicely. Adapted via 39mm screw thread. Minolta hood (MD45mm) added.
I only have to make some cap with a smaller aperture hole to fit within the screw mount.

I just ordered the GF1 and I'm now looking for converters. The Leica M converter is a no-brainer, but I saw there's even a Canon EOS converter available. No way to set the diaphragm of course, as there are no electrical contacts, but I assume my L lenses and the EF-S 10-22 are good enough wide open to consider this an option. Who has experience with this configuration and how well are these (Chinese?) converters made?

Is that working well with the Waterhouse stops in the mount? Changing lenses every time you want to stop down sounds like a bummer, otherwise it's just f/2.8 all the time.
 
I'm picking up the nokton 50 1.1 & 35 1.2 tomorrow will shoot those as well.. Have since sold the E-P1 and GF1

What kind of converters come for the Olympus? Can you still use all of the functions while using different lenses?
 
little more than that :) this site in French, but it has list of C-mount lenses for M4/3, 274 options.

Yehh... I have collected 30± c-mount lenses... of course there are a lot more, as the linked list is far from complete...

that site has co-opted several of my images with out credit or permission.

Anyone have any experience with the Cosmicar/Pentax manual lens line? 25 1.4 or 50 1.4?

Oh man, I want to get into this. I just ran a search on ebay for C-mount lenses, there are hordes of them, some going for basically nothing.
 
Nikkor-S 35/2.8 AI converted.

Konica AR to m4/3rd adapter + Konica AR to Nikon F adapter.

Who said we can only use one adapter? :)
