Just wanted to know if I can use any m4/3 mount lenses on my camera (Oly E-PL1). I ask as the Oly pancake is 17mm, but I wanted a 14mm. The Panasonic 14mm f2.8 is perfect for what I'm looking for, so just wanted to be sure it would probably work ok?
Thanks in advance,
Graham |

all Panasonic and Olympus m4/3 mounts are the same. Sony NEX, Nikon J and other brand mirror-less cameras use different mounts.
you can also use Four Thirds lenses from Olympus on m4/3 and have full functionality (AF, AE, etc) with the Olympus MMF-1/2/3 or Panasonic DMW-MA1 or the off brand Viltrox JY-43F, they provide a pass through for the camera to lens communication.
http://www.four-thirds.org has a nice run down of all the lenses available.
fwiw the 14mm is a nice lens and was my choice over the olympus 17mm

Indeed, I went for the Panasonic 20mm and 14mm pancakes for my EPL1 and they both work flawlessly.
