I'm trying to figure out my next lens for my e-p1. I'm looking at the Olympus 40-150mm - I think I need an adapter - would the adapter be the mmf-1?  Is there an adapter for Nikon-to-ep1?  Thanks for the info.

Yes it would. Four Thirds to Micro Four Thirds. If you also want to buy a cheaper version, Panasonic has one available, and it also allows autofocus. It's just...oddly colored.

Centauri27, please have in mind that the DOF scale will be incorrect, and the distance marks may be missaligned a bit.

Olympus 11-22, generally with the evf on the E-P2.

Its a handful, I'm pretty sure the lens and adapter weigh more than the body, but it makes nice images.

tamoio, I've heard lots of recommendations for that lens too. I guess it's a cracking good lens after all!

You actually need to be a little careful with it, it doesn't AF very well and a lot of the time I just stop down to 5.6 and infinity MF. But it feels like a real lens to me, unlike the the new 9-18. It also works really really well on an E-3.

Can you post samples in the Lens Sample board? I don't think we have samples with this lens yet.

I own four Lumix lenses for my Lumix G2. Of these the 45-200 is the one that stays on the camera most of the time. If I had to choose a second it would be the f1.7 20mm pancake.
