I have a pl3 and lenses for it. I assumed they would work just as well with the e-m1. Do I really need a mmf-3 adaptor as one reviewer implied?

I assume you are referring to the Olympus E-PL3. If that is the camera you have, then you have m43 lenses. The e-m1 is also a m43 system. There is some confusion between m43 and 43 systems so I will try to clear it up a little. The 4/3 system and m43 system use exactly the same sensor size. However, the 4/3 system was a DSLR system which had a mirror box. This put the flange distance about 3/4" further away than the m4/3 system. So while m43 and 4/3 have the same size imaging circle, the 4/3 system focuses about 3/4" further behind the flange than the m4/3 does. Therefore, to use 4/3 lenses on a m4/3 camera you need an adaptor which gives you that 3/4" back. Also, 4/3 lenses use phase detect auto focus while m4/3 use contrast. So except for the EM1, 4/3 lenses focus much slower than m43 lenses. 4/3 lenses tend to be quite a bit larger than their m4/3 cousins. If you used your lenses on an E-PL3 without and adaptor, the will work on the E-M1 without an adaptor.

This lens is not compatible with the E-PL1 as it's a 4/3 mount. You would need micro-4/3 for your camera.

They say that the Panasonic and Olympus MFT lenses are interchangeable so if it works on mine it should work on the OM-D E-M5. I would ask if they will accept a return in case it doesn't before ordering. But I have the Panasonic Lumix G5 and it works great. I have no complaints about the product.

It works with E-M5 and E-M1 for me. I think it will work with the E-PL5 too.

I not sure. The adapter I need was for my 70-300mm lens and this adapter did not fit that len. The adapter I needed for that was an Olympus 3/4 MMF-2 costing about $150. However my Olympus 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 lens fit on my E-PL1 without an adapter, so I not sure why you need an adapter for you lens to fit

No, this adapter works the other way, you can use the lenses from your 60D on the EOS-M. I have not seen an adapter that allows the use of EF-M lenes on the EF or EF-S mounts.

Yes!!And it is a very nice lens with a big spread from 14 to 150mm!!!I keep it on my E-M1 most of the time!!Albert E

Yep, works on any m4/3 camera, as is the PEN E-PL1. It's a nice lens as well.

Hi, Deirdre! They are for different cameras - EFM - only for new Canon EOS M camera and EF lenses - for wide range of EOS cameras. You can use EF lenses on EOS M camera with special adapter.

I have an e-pl1 and it fits kind of snug in the bag with the 14-42mm lens attached. I assume the e-p3 is the same size so it should fit. If you have other equipment you want to carry, you'll need a bigger bag.

Yes, but you need an "OM mount to M4/3 adapter", which can be rather cheap and easy to purchase. However, you must notice that, if you use OM mount lens on EP3 or other M43 camera, the compactness will be decreased since the adapter is rather tall due to flange issue (OM is SLR after all..). I've used an cheap but good OM 50mm f1.8 lens on my EP3, and i got sharp and nice pictures, examples without post process here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/98455087@N02/sets/72157635716243403/

Definitely - I use it on my E-M5 all the time. It's a great sharp lens. I prefer it to the Panasonic Leica.

This lens adapter is meant to adapt old Lieca M mount lenses to a micro 4/3 mount camera, like the Blackmagic Pocket Cam. This Panasonic lens you mention shouldn't need an adapter to fit onto the Blackmagic Pocket Cam as both the lens and the camera are micro 4/3. Now, if you've got an old Leica M mount lens, this adapter works quite well: a nice snug fit, appears to be very sturdy. And having Lieca glass on the Pocket Cam is quite nice.

It fits all EF lenses, but it doesn't work for me. If it does work for anyone, could you please share with others how you accomplished that??

As I understand it the lens is 4/3 NOT Micro 4/3. You will need an adaptor to use on a M4/3 Camera.

I do not know since I have not purchased the E-M1. There are a couple of forums available that, if the question was put on them, an answer would come quickly. Good luck!

Yes, it works fine on Olympus MFT cameras. I've used my 20mm on an E-PM1 and E-PL3 with excellent results.
