I recently posted some images taken with the E-PL1 and a Zeiss 16/2.8. On my second M 4/3 camera, the E-P2, I had a Zeiss 50/1.4 Planar in QBM mount for the old Rollei 35mm SLR system. This 50mm lens is one of my alltime favorite lenses. It renders people and things just beautifully. I was hoping at some time that Amedeo could craft a custom adapter for this lens into Leica M mount, but he tried and then told me that it was not possible to do. I would need the M240 with LiveView and adapter to get FF with this lens on a digital camera. For film, I still have a few SL35 bodies. The m 4/3 adapter used here may have cost me $10 or so at ebay.

I used LR5 to transfer image files from DNG to jpg, without any extra PS.

This was outside Joe Patti's Seafood Store, in Pensacola.

I very much enjoy using the old Olympus m 4/3 cameras ; E-P2 and E-PL1. They have internal IS which makes it possible to use any lens to get IS. For focusing, if needed, there is a 10x magnification that quickly can be obtained by clicking on the view screen on the back of each camera. Image size is 12MP.
