And theres a reason I posted it in this forum, I'm now the KC area Olympus rep! I'm really excited to be a part of the program. I'll be accumulating Olympus related knowledge henceforth, I'll be sure to blow up this forum with questions.

Like right now, I have a question.

I will be given an Pen, the E-PL1 or 2 (not sure which one yet, will find out when I start the training).

I am PSYCHED about it! I am psyched to finally own a micro four thirds system camera. The image grain is also cleaner at high ISO than my A700, not tremendously so, but 1600 and 3200 are both a little bit more usable. Unfortunately though, this difference is negated when considering the lens speed difference. I've been wondering about getting a fast lens for the Pen. Then I suddenly realized, that old Leica rangefinder I inherited, with the Zeiss 50mm (5 cm) f/1.5 lens, can be mounted to the Pen.

So, I thought I could pair that up with an adapter, like this - link

Does anybody here have any experience with these adapters? I am curious about the Pen's metering ability without aperture control. Is it just manual input only, no meter readout at all? Can it meter the shutter/ISO as if the aperture was a solid thing? How about infinite focus distance? Any input on the matter is much appreciated.

The image I uploaded is the old rangefinder of mine. I am excited to pair the two up!
