New lens...

Sweet... I finally got my new lens from eBay! I was hoping to shoot primarily prime lenses on this camera, but there just aren't many available yet in the micro 4/3rds mount. That lead me to start researching legacy MF lens. I read that the old Olympus Pen F/T/V lens are a great match and I can definitely confirm that! There is a great, fast lens line-up for the old Pen system and because they only had to cover half a 35mm frame, the lenses are TINY. Its hard to tell in the above picture, but this lens is a 40mm 1.4 and it is much smaller in diameter than the already small Panasonic 20mm I had been using.

It just feels *right* on this camera.

SHOT NOTES: A bit soft wide open, but this lens has great bokeh. Shot at f2 and then simply converted to B&W.
