I was pretty stoked today to be given a new (to me) toy, an Olympus E-PL1,
with a 17/2.8 and a 14-42. I know that there are a couple people on the list
who also have a foot in the u4/3 world. Does anyone have recommendations
for lens adapters? I've got a bunch of K-mount, manual focus Minolta and
some old Nikon glass lying around.
Nice little toy, isn't it?
Picture quality seems to be pretty good:

The user interface is atrocious. That is not a condemnation of u4/3 in
general, but it's an incredible pain to take any manual control of it.
The form factor, particularly without the evf, is very tough to hole in
even my dainty little paws.
I bought one for my wife (with the 14-42 and 40-150 lenses) back in 2010,
although I've probably used it myself rather more than she has.
Somewhere around here I've got the adapter I bought to use my Pentax 50mm
with it when I wanted to take some pictures of the miniature figures we use
for tabletop RPGs - if I manage to turn it up I'll let you know.
(I would like to try out the 17/2.8 sometime, too)
Gee, maybe we should get together and play with cameras sometime.
