Well, sort of! When I called the shop about it, I asked for the E-P1, but the guy sad "uh, what? oh, you mean the digtial Pen!". On the top of the camera, along one not very apparent edge, it says "Olympus PEN Since 1959". Personally I think that they should have just gone and called it exclusively the "Digital Pen 1" and been done with it. I love the styling, and the shots that I've been getting are just so much better than the ones that I'd seen on line; some of those that people were calling "good" had me scared to buy the camera.
The adapters are a bit steep now, the cheapest M42 adapter is $50, but I expect that the prices to fall to the range of the regular 4/3 adapters shortly. I've seen adapters for Leica, EOS, Canon FD, Nikon? and M42, but I'm sure more are coming. You have to shoot them in aperture mode with manual focus, which suits me fine. The regular 4/3 lenses can also be mounted, and they work fully. |
