Lens Questions and Hello

[demiro]

...Yes the OM glass will work on it but you will need a couple of adapters, OM to 4/3rd and 4/3rd to m4/3rd. Some of the old OM glass is still sought after and used. 24, 28 and 50mm still bring a nice price. Sorry you will have to AF.Check KEH. ...

I guess this is a dumb question, but for anything other than 4/3 lenses to m4/3 lenses I will need two adapters? No other lenses are directly adaptable to m4/3 format?

Is there any issue with stacking adapters? I'm thinking I will avoid this anyway, but just trying to understand the lay of the land.

Thanks!

I've had the E-PL1 for about a month now. While part of me says that it really doesn't provide value, as it is too big to be truly convenient and cannot capture faster action like my DSLR, a larger part of me is very taken with the fabulous quality I get right OOC shooting in auto mode.

Pretty sure it is a keeper at this point. I'm going to add a 50/1.8 OM lens and the Pany 20/1.7 as well. Seems like a good investment at this point to help further define what my PEN can do.

As an aside, I recently picked up the highly regarded Samsung TL500. A nice P&S with a very fast 1.8 lens. While I like the camera, for a P&S, I felt it really didn't hold a candle to the IQ I see with the Oly. Not that unexpected I suppose, but for me it certainly validated just how big the step up is from a good P&S to micro 4/3s.
