After the purchase of Olympus Pen E-P2 on November 25, 2009
at the Photo Fair in Bangkok many pictures and HD videos were
shot and posted. As I am the old fan of Nikon before Nikon F301,
it's first motor drive 35 mm film camera, I still keep all Nikon's lens,
flash, filters, extension rings, etc.

Several old lens were attached to Olympus Pen E-P2 via
the adapter MFT/LEM F Mount and tested. The long zoom lens
seems to be too heavy and unbalance the E-P2 thus make it
difficult to focus manually without a tripod. The best lens of all that
I have, producing very good pictures, and balance the E-P2 quite
well is Nikkor 50 mm. 1 : 1.2 Nikon lens as shown in Figures 1 & 2.

With the Adapter MFT/LEM F Mount, the closest focal distance
of 50 mm lens is 50 cm. By connecting the Extension Ring PK-11
to the F Adapter the focal distance is reduced to about 10 -15 cm.
Shorter focal distances can be made with Extension Rings PK-12,
and PK-13.

Summary :
1. The Olumpus Zoom 14 - 42 mm lens is light and produce
good pictures. It is generally sufficient for normal use.
2. With the Adapter MFT/LEM F Mount for Nikon lens, the old
Non-DX lens can be used with E-P2. Other adapters are
available for other brands.
3. Manual focus will have to be used and we can enjoy going
back to the old time adjusting camera settings.
4. Good results could be obtained with some efforts.
