Excellent Brian
my resistance is weakening by the minute.
How is the focusing?
How do you do the aperture (do you have to stop down manually)

Thanks Jono,

the focusing is pretty good - selecting the magnified view is a case of pressing the little left arrow followed by the OK button... the magnified view times out after 8 secs, or until you half press the shutter release button.

The LVF gains up, so you can still frame perfectly well - the display refresh just slows down a little.

All in all, it's the best option for manual focusing at the moment...

As an aside, there's less vibration on shutter release, so you can hand hold to a lower speed I think.

Kind Regards

Brian

Does the Hexanon fit directly on the 4/3 adapter?? Is no other adapter necessary??

How hard is it to focus?? At the time of exposure do you stop down the lens (in aperture priority) and watch the shutter speed to know when to stop adjusting??

Hi Martin,

I've converted my Hexanon lenses to 4/3rds mount following this method, by Pete Snaar.

You can shoot in a variety of modes with legacy lenses, Aperture Priority, Manual, Program, various scene modes (like indoor sports etc)... it's pretty robust in how it handles shooting.

If you press the 'Quick Menu' button, you can get access to ISO, WB, a variety of parameters in the LVF - it's damned good imho... definitely the future for me.

Kind Regards

Brian
