These shots were taken with the E-P1 and the mark I version of the lens. Autofocus seems to work just as well as other Digital Zuiko Fourthirds lenses on the Pen. The first image was taken with autofocus and the second with manual focus.

Very nice shots. For those that haven't tried FT lenses on MFT, can you give a more detailed description of how the AF performs?

Cheers

Thanks Peter. The lenses focus a bit slower than the kit zoom but apart from that, they work basically the same. Olympus says the focus might not be as exact but my experience is that there isn't any noticeable difference. The exactness of focus (or lack of) has more to do with the camera's too large focusing points, which of course are the same for all lenses.

Do you need an adapter with this?

Yes, the MMF-1

There appears to be a MMF-2 version of the adapter. It has a dark finish rather than the silver finish. I don't know of its availability or whether it is restriced to certain markets.
