This image shows the quality you get using this combination. The lens is great anyway but here I used the E-PL1 and I think the quality is simply astounding. Just a reminder, this lens gives you a magnification of 1:2 out of the box. You have to use the adapter for it to get a 1:1 magnification. Personally I haven't missed it and tend to use the lens as is.

03/04/12  Olympus 50 f2 Macro Four Thirds Lens2287
E-PL1 Focal Length: 50 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/20 sec ISO: 100 • Olympus • E-PL1 • macro • 50 f2 • Four Thirds
03/03/12  Olympus 50 F2 Macro Four Thirds LensLooking back through the images that I've posted here, most have been taken with the Olympus E-PL1. It shows just how much I like this camera. Many don't like it for ergonomic reasons but I don't find it difficult to use at all. It's just getting used to using a camera in a different way. The more you use something the more you get to know it. Comes to me as second nature these days.
The Olympus 50 f2 macro lens is one of the best ever made. I've used it here attached to the Panasonic Four Thirds to m4/3 adapter. Focusing is really slow and not recommended. Using it in MF is faster and better for maco anyway. 1948
E-PL1 Focal Length: 50 mm Aperture: f/5.6 Exposure Time: 1/10 sec ISO: 100 01/20/12  Panasonic LEICA D VARIO-ELMAR 14-150 F3.5-5.6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S.This seagull was gliding by just off the cliff face. I think it's one of only a few BIFs I've taken with this combination. Not that the focus speed is slow, there are better lens/camera combinations for this sort of thing. But, it shows that shooting birds in flight is possible. 1495
DMC-L1 Focal Length: 150 mm Aperture: f/8.0 Exposure Time: 10/5000 sec ISO: 100 • Panasonic • Leica • PL 14-150 • L1 • Four Thirds
01/19/12  Panasonic LEICA D VARIO-ELMAR 14-150 F3.5-5.6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S.One from the PL 14-150 again on the L1. Taken in very bright conditions while of a walking holiday in the north of France. This lens is made for these conditions and performs very well indeed on the L1. 2001

01/17/12  Panasonic LEICA D VARIO-ELMAR 14-150 F3.5-5.6 ASPH. MEGA O.I.S.Talking about these Four Thirds lenses brings me back to another great Lens by the Panasonic-Leica partnership, the Vario-Elmar 14-150 f3.5-5.6. I think this lens coupled with the Panasonic L1 is one of the best camera/lens combinations I have ever used. Looking back through the images I have made with this combination makes me ask myself why I rarely use this combination these days. Well, if I had the time I would, but I'm a bit of a camera geek. I like using different cameras and lenses. The lens isn't all that fast and can only be used in good light. The high ISO performance of the L1 is also restricting. I don't think I've ever used the L1 over ISO 400. Todays cameras are much better in this respect and offers more situations where these cameras can be used. 3072

01/16/12  Olympus 50 f2 Macro Lens on Olympus E-620 Four Thirds Camera.I thought I would post an image from the 50 f2 macro lens when mounted on the olympus E-620 Four Thirds camera. Couls you have seen the difference between the former image and this one. Could you really tell which image came from which camera? I know I couldn't. Might not be too surprising seeing the cameras have the same sensor in them. I think this one shows what this lens can really do. 1889
E-620 Focal Length: 50 mm Aperture: f/22.0 Exposure Time: 10/13 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • Four Thirds • m4/3 • macro • manual focus • 50 f2 • E-620
01/14/12  Olympus Four Thirds 35 f2.5 Macro LensUsing Four Third lenses on m4/3 does work (the PL 14-150 is a good example) but some are not optimized for contrast detec focusing and performance is abysmal to say the least. This lens is an okay performer on Four Third cameras, not brilliant, just okay. When shooting macro AF doesn't play a role for me and I focus manually with every macro lens I own. It's just as well because putting this on a m4/3 camera via a four thirds to m4/3 adapter doesn't enhance it's performance in any way. Takes nice images though. 1968
E-P2 Focal Length: 35 mm Aperture: f/4.5 Exposure Time: 1/15 sec ISO: 200 • Olympus • E-P2 • Four Thirds • 30 f3.5 • Macro
