D'oh! Today is really not my day. I was thinking of an actual 85mm....forgot to multiply by 2.85mm is like a 170mm on 4/3 or m4/3 a bit long for a portrait lens. It will be very hard to get good focus on the E-P1 wide open with the LCD magnified and the body held out in front of you.
If you are in a hurry and don't mind an adapter B&H sells the lens under the Vivitar Series 1 name.Hey I have an Olympus 520 that this may be useful for but neither B&H nor Adorama carries this lens.
For the price they're mentioning I would actually rather get a Canon 85mm f1.8...
Rafael's images are nice but I wouldn't judge resolution from small web images. Maybe they are good to anyone's standard, maybe not. They are sure good for web publishing.Here there are already good examples. I think that works very well on sensors MFT.
I'm sorry, I haven't seen any samples. If you like the result from 16mm FE lenses on FF cameras it can work. 180 degrees (approx) diagonally I presume, it's cool.And then I like to do portraits hidden for long distance!
What do you think instead of Samyang 8mm fisheye? The equivalent focal length of 16mm fisheye can work well on GF1?
Indeed I doubt if it covers 180 degrees even with the 16mm on MFT. Can someone explain to me?I'm sorry, I haven't seen any samples. If you like the result from 16mm FE lenses on FF cameras it can work. 180 degrees (approx) diagonally I presume, it's cool.

I have the old Canon FD 85mm f/1.8 and it is OK. Sharp, but bokeh is a little bit jingly at times. Here are two with the Canon 85 on the G1:For the price they're mentioning I would actually rather get a Canon 85mm f1.8...
