CHARSET=US-ASCII Well- I did it. The Pen got here today, the m42 and K
adapters arrived last Friday. It looks like a nice way to get a little
more use out of the old manual focus lenses. Cameraquest will be glad to
sell you a Voigtlander 17.5mm f/0.95 or 25mm f/0.95 manual focus, micro
2/3 lens for about $1200 each... Did a little poking around with it
tonight. Bolted on the old full frame Zenitar 16mm fisheye. Most of the
fishiness was cropped out by the small sensor- There was surprisingly
little distortion left. Will post a few examples, once I get a SD card
in it. On Sep 12, 2012, at 11:57 AM, Don Guthrie wrote:

do very well. And I have had good luck with close-up work.

just search Amazon for micro 4/3s. Because of the sensor size everything is more or
less telephoto. Even my 10 to 20 Sigma is a 20 on the Oly. One of my favorite Pentax
lenses on Oly is the cheap but surprisingly good 35-80. Plastic but very lightweight.
