Would this lens be too big to use with the E-PM2? I know it is technically compatible, just wondering about ergonomics.

It is a bit heavy but has great detail, Olympus introduced a new pancake version in this range, a little slower but nice.

It is a moderately large lens, but I am using it on a E-P3 without difficulty. Size is a compromise for aperture and sharpness. I love this lens and use it all the time.

It is roughly the same size as the 35-100 from Panasonic. I think it would be possible take into consideration though that because of the diameter and the mount position with the hood installed it will actually can't backwards when set on a level surface. I think the lens itself will be more than accommodated though on the epm2. I have seen use of it in the EPL5 and it was acceptable. The lens itself is a real gem and on the Olympus bodies performs flawlessly.

This is a fairly large lens. It will fit on the camera of course, but it is a noticeable lens, and it will make the camera a little front heavy... However, the quality of the lens is extraordinary, and outweighs the slight ergonomic trade off (in my opinion)

I can't say for certain as I haven't handled an E-PM2, but most likely yes. The lens is too big to use on the E-M5 without the additional grip on it in my opinion. Banana for scale: http://i.imgur.com/BdiK7WL.jpg

I have a 40mm in mine, no problem. 2" would be crazy tight, if it fit (I just measured).

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

Absolutely nothing. I carry a D600 with a 200mm lense with no problem. Rarely do I believe the 'hype on gadgets', but this is the real deal. One of the best purchases I have made for outdoors photography!

I ordered the lens for my OMD E-5. Before it arrived I discovered from my local Camera srore that for the E-5 it would require an adapter. I returned it as soon as I received it. However I now own the OMD E-1 and from what I have read on it, it has a dual focusing system that allows it to be used with micro 4/3 lenses as well as the older 4/3 lenses. Again this is from what I have read, not from direct experience.

I have an Olympus E420 and I had no issues with it. It just took some time to get used to the proper technique. I can't speak for your model though.

This lens works on the E-420 along with the E-620. I use this lens almost exclusively and am extremely happy with the photos i get.

This is an A mount lens, so if you have an E mount lens it won't fit without an adapter.

I've used this lens on both a e-pm2 and omd em5. I can only give my experience as a person new to photography. My previous experience consist of point and shoot. The lens is well made, and takes very sharp photo's. The 19mm focal length is a great "walking" around lens. This is the first prime lens I purchased. I have since purchased the Sigma 30mm and 60mm. Along with the 2 kit zooms that came with the camera I now have a complete kit covering focal lengths from 14mm-150mm (28-300 effective 35mm equivalent). I use the Sigma primes more than the kit zooms.

Hello, it aint suitable at all, have the same lens. Advice, if you want to get continuos shots with this lens, you need to get a aperture of 8 at least, so it wont loose the focus with avery move. Greetings from Venezuela.

The diameter of lens matters, I was able to purchase an adapter for a couple if bucks. Works great!

It really depends on what your needs are. Although this is an amazing lens for the price (especially in portability) I find it to be a little too long for me. It's a bit long for street photography; a 28 or 24mm could get much more of the scene in. But really, it's like any lens. Know your gear. Know your limitations. You might buy a 24mm and find that you prefer something a bit tighter. Great for portaiture. If you do more indoor things or landscapes, you might want something wider and faster. If you do outside portraiture or have a bit more room to move about, go for it. Actually, either way, go for it. The product is amazing for the price, and build quality is twice as good as the nifty fifty. It really depends on what your needs are.

I have both the E=M 10 as well as the E-M 5ii and the lens is great with either. Its a worthwhile purchase for the price. I find it sharp, exellent color and a good all around lens for eveeyday use.

I have an Olympus e620 with extra lens and everything fits perfectly ( even have space for my little tough camera too) and as previous poster mentions it can be reconfigured but with the battery grip, I don't know so would have to defer to poster who does use that...it is a great bag though, I have loved it!

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

Great! Thanks for replying and letting me know. Enjoying your G2? I just got mine this weekend and love it. Turned around and dropped another $700 on lenses and filters; nothing I already had would fit.

I have only shot it with the 14-35 f/2 and it was VERTY fast to AF even in indoor conditions. It is much much faster than the E-M5 from what I hear. Maybe not as fast as the E-5 but the 14-35 was plenty fast for me. I can not comment on other lenses as I have not tried them, and probably will not be as A: I am not a fan of large lenses and B: I can not afford to buy them all to test them :)
