Is there any way to make this wide angle lens work for my EP-1? Is there any way I can make this wide angle lens work?

I had an EPL2, the II kit lens and the wide angle lens, which twisted on for the right fit. My suggestion is to buy the II because the wide angle is that good, inexpensive and sure is useful. What to do the I lens? either keep it, give it away or sell it.

Yes. The viewfinder works on my EP3. The EP3 is my main camera. I also use the viewfinder for my EPL3 as well.

Be careful in what you expect. With the wide angle on a regular lens you will get a lot of distortion around the edges. I was trying to get by cheap with shooting rooms for real estate and it never did work out so I ended up buying a Tamara wide angle len that cost about as much as the Nikon 5100 body that I had bought. Your not investing a whole lot in buying these two lens but don't expect the results of having a good wide angle or telephoto regular lens.

First, what camera are you shooting with and what lens(s) do you have already? Second, you said you need a wide angle lens. What kind of pictures are you planning to take? Let's go from here.Michael

I own the adapter, I own old AI lenses and EXPECT the combination to work! I have yet to purchase the X E1. (so I cannot tell you for sure)

I think it is kinda a trial and error type thing with the ES-1. Some people have to add extension tubes between the lens on their camera and the camera body to be able to focus on the slide. To get it to work with my tamron 90mm lens I had to use several additional adapters between the ES-1 and my lens so I could focus. However, it wasn't too difficult to figure out. Here is a link to my Flickr page where I have a photo of what I had to do to get the ES-1 to work for me. http://www.flickr.com/photos/34337249@N02/sets/72157636100663294/

They way I did it was unscrewing the macro lens and then screwed the wide lens directly to my Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 prime lens. I'm holding the wide lens in my hands now, and I can see the threading on the outside. To be candid with you, the results were very disappointing. In my opinion it was a waste of time and money. Right now saving for a real Canon wide angle lens, (e.g., Canon EF-S 10-18 f/4.5-5.6 IS STM which can be had here at Amazon.com for $299.00. I hope this information is useful to you.

This isn't a wide angle lens. If you want to take daylight shots at a wide angle, your best bet is the kit lens (the 10-30mm) all the way bumped out, or looking for a lens with a focal length of less than 10mm (as printed on the Nikon 1 lens). I've read that the kit lens is very good for outdoor, daylight photography like this (however I'm no expert)This lens is "fast" (f/1.8) compared to other Nikon 1 lenses, and is useful for taking photos in lower light conditions, and situations where you want a blurred background (subject oriented shots, like portraits).

It is a pretty darn wide angle, but there is a wider angle lens available. This one does not come with that wider angle lens.

Yes, it's compatible - I've been using the EPL1/14-42 II combo for a number of months now with positive results - it focuses accurately, quickly and quietly on the EPL-1 and takes nice photos. I've noted that a small number of posters have mentioned potential firmware issues and poor photographic performance with this camera/lens combo, but that hasn't been my experience - and the majority of user posts appear to reflect similar, positive results.

I read somewhere it does NOT work. I would not recommend this combination anyway fr quality reasons. It is a bad idea to use a converter for a wide-to.tele-zoom. Teleconverters are best for fast lenses (2.0...4.0) and longer focal lenghts (fixed or fast pro telezooms).

Mike -my name is Jim-I have the MF-2 OM adaptor using it on an EM-5 -and it works with several legacy lenses from my old OM-1 and OM-2 cameras-obviously auto focus does not work with those lenses-I'm not familiar with the E-PM1 but I'd be surprised if your lenses didn't work -especially if they're selling it to fit your camera-hope this helps -love the Olympus cameras

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??

No it is not a wide angle lens. Wide angle is usually wider than 18 mm (or 27mm in full frame).

wide angle lens screws into threads on existing lens. the diameter has to match the existing size. don't know if an adaptor ring will allow for the diameters to match.

Yes, it does. In fact I'm selling mine but ONLY because I'm moving to a full frame sensor. It's unfortunate b/c there's really not a sharper wide angle lens than this one. I'll miss it for sure!

At Best Buy, or any other Retailer that sells Camera lenses/equipment you should be able to find an adapter to allow the Wide Angle lens to fit. The only reason I mentioned Best Buy is because I found the same adapter there, but I believe you can find it on Amazon also. Hope it helps.
