Yes Mike, I have one and have mated it with manual focus lenses back
to screw-mounted Pentax Ricoh Canon and and sharp an old Russian-made
using a rather bizarre tilt-shift adapter.
I had the same problems with manual focus that I do with any camera - I
ain't very good at it. If you have the time to zoom in with the preview
button you can do very well. And I have had good luck with close-up work.
Frankly I use mine all the time as my carry around & back-up and video
shooter. I advise you to snap one up. There are adapters for almost any
type of lens just search Amazon for micro 4/3s. Because of the sensor
size everything is more or less telephoto. Even my 10 to 20 Sigma is a
20 on the Oly. One of my favorite Pentax lenses on Oly is the cheap but
surprisingly good 35-80. Plastic but very lightweight.

Also sold on e-bay. Cameta has 6 left as I write this.
You've got my attention now (currently in acquisition mode) Any one have
experience with it with Manual Focus K-mount lenses?
Is it annoying?
Cheers
Mike
