Hello,

Not that much topics about the not so new now OMD. I would be interested to know your opinion about the use of MF lenses on this beast. I myself get the E-M5 but i'm considering to move to the EM-1, better EVF , focus assistance etc..

And some shoots too.

10 years later! Although I use the 4/3 50mm f2 macro, and its x2TC, for much macro, in manual mode, and some general shots, I mostly use adapted manual lenses. Some of these are recent like the Laowa 25mm x2.5 to x5 macro
