Hey, Godfrey, why is the optical finder on the camera with the zoom? I thought it only worked with the 17. This is really a camera I would like to handle.

I was early, she was running late, but while I waited I unloaded my bag full of goodies onto the counter and nabbed the demo E-P1 from the shelf and played with it. Terry arrived, we had a bit of refreshment and yakked about the little beast at the cafe across the street until I had to run off to do some work for a client. My morning testing revealed: - E-P1 focuses both the 11-22 and 35 Macro perfectly. - It focuses the 35 Macro with the EC14 behind it perfectly. - The Voigtländer Viewfinder 75mm works well with the 35 Macro (and my 40/1.4 as well). - Both the M.Zuiko 17mm and 14-42mm lenses work very nicely on the G1. - The Pentax/Cosmicar 12.5mm f/1.4 works nicely on the E-P1 too. - Terry's G Vario 7-14/4 is a delight. Tiny, ultra-wide FoV, very sharp, beautifully finished. - Terry's Summilux-M 50/1.4 fitted to the E-P1 is a thing of beauty. A couple of pictures of the E-P1 with 35 Macro and OVF as well as next to my Olympus Pen EE, for size and shape comparison: http://homepage.mac.com/godders/OlyE-P1_ZD35Macro.jpg http://homepage.mac.com/godders/OlyE-P1_PenEE.jpg Darn nice camera. ;-) -- Godfrey www.gdgphoto.com www.flickr.com/photos/gdgphoto www.twitter.com/godfreydigiorgi -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
