Yes, you'll still need the adapter.. The m43 is suppose to be a new lineup with new bodies and lenses.. So there's nothing to come to terms to.. You just gotta wait for the m43s to mature. :bsmilie:

:bsmilie: As in, I was wondering what all the m4/3 thing was about....then I went to read it up. I thought it was something more chim :bsmilie:
Oh man, I was thinking of getting the pancake lens, then add extension. Might as well get a macro directly, in this case??
Are there news of new lenses coming up for the m43s? Someone was saying earlier that there will be new intros end of this year.

Heard some Leica lenses gonna be out end of year.. Real good, and expensive ones.
And from what I read, I believe some lenses will be carried from the 4/3s line to the m43 lineup. But who knows... :bsmilie:
You can try the 50mm macro with adapter... At least it is able to auto-focus! You'll be suprised by the sharpness.
Hurray!!!! Just got my E-P1 white 17mm kit.
To my surprise the external viewfinder is not link to the lens or camera, a stand alone by itself. Tot it was linked.
Find it quite cartoon when taking photo thru the viewfinder and the LCD is still on. Haven read the manual yet, so dunno how to off the LCD. If there is no off function for LCD, the viewfinder is just like a vast, for display purposes.

very nice promo video...
remind me a little of the movie 'Up'...
for those worrying about the lcd, having used the grd1, dp1, lx3 and nikon d200, i didn't feel that the ep1's lcd screen is inferior. looks and feels good. i think it's quite lovely. you got to go try one to find out yourself.
also the AF is fast, faster than most compacts. feels faster than my d200 paired with a sigma 30mm f1.4..
one thing i don't like is i find the AW in artificia lighting like always off...
btw anyone care sharing your work flow with raw files? i'm used to lightroom n bibble... so don't feel so efficient now... like take really long to process files...

they use the same battery as the E-4xx series and E-620..
model name is "BLS-1"
whether they (the 3rd party batt) work on the E-P1.. i am not so sure.. :dunno:
Some photos.
Do note, my photos should NOT be used to form an opinion on exposure, color or sharpness. Cause i mostly MF, and i post process them heavily, usualy 2 -3 diff softwares.
Lens used are 17mm pancake and 40mm f1.4 voigtlander...
So i guess, what you can take out is, i can use this cam like i would with a point and shoot. 90% of the images you see, i can say i won't be able to get with either my ricoh grd1 or sigma dp1. 100% of them i will never get with my d200, cause i'll never take it out of my bag to fool around.

Hi guys,
I got my white Pen + 17mm from MS Color today and started putting my camera through the paces. Started writing my review and there's some sample pix there too.
