I stand corrected, this lens is the best looking on the PEN. How much was this one for you as well? Current prices are probably much cheaper depending on how long ago you got it, but this looks like a great match for it.

This lens is really light too. Not sure on the price. I got it with some other equipment. I think you can get one for about $15-20 maybe even cheaper. Or look for a AE-1 / A-1 with this lens and sell the camera. You might get this lens for free this way

How much was the adapter itself and where did you get it?

I got the cheapest adapter from eBay. I think I paid about $25 including shipping. Works like a charm. I never use the kitlens anymore.

It's really nice to have a full set of FD gears.

As for the FD-to-m4/3 adapter, you're lucky that they "work like a charm". When I bought mine in shops several months ago, the quality of work was not consistent, I had to try several adapters before getting a nice one. Either the breech lock cannot be threaded or the Open<->Lock switch of the aperture lever does not work.

I have FD 50/1.4 s.s.c. and 100/2.8

Yeah I have heard the same things, maybe you could show us which exact adapter you got so we can recommend it?

I found my old email from ebay. This is the seller, but I don't see the exact same one for sale.
