I use it with my Olympus E-510 and it seems to work. Cannot offer any help with use on other cameras.

I am not sure. Auto focus works good,but manual focus grinds like sand in focus area. Still my favorite lens. Normally use auto focus unless can't get the shot I want

Hi, I am using the amazing Tokina 11-16 mm on my Nikon D80, the autofocus works fine, great lens.

Yes, I have not had any issues with this lens, in fact, I love it. I use the auto setting on the camera and all pics have been great!

Yes, I have been using this lens with the BMPCC and it is an excellent choice. It does work with the focus and iris buttons. With this camera, you have to push the focus button if you don't want to manually focus, it does not have continuous autofocus with any lens. The image stabilization is excellent.

I have used this with my D90 and D40, both with no problem. Have you checked that the setting on the lens is AF, not MF? It is kind of tricky, but the rule of thumb is if you see both the AF and MF showing, then you are good. If you only see MF showing, then it is wrong. Also make sure the camera body's setting is on AF.

I have several Pentax SMC-M lenses that work well on my D-90. Most of what I do is in manual mode so it doesn't matter that they won't work in auto. Just remember that your focal length will increase with this adapter. In other reviews, some people said they had problems getting the adapter to lock on camera body. Haven't had any problems with this.

I have the Sl1 and yes it works with it. Great lens too. Very versatile. I keep it in the camera 95% of the time.

I have the SL1 and it works fine with all my old Canon FD lenses. Just remember that everything is manual - f-stop & focus.

If the lens is a EF mount it will adapt but you will not have any auto focus. All focus is manual. I have used the adapter with Canon EF lenses and Tamron lens with the EF mount on my Panasonic G5. I hope this helps.

I DON'T HAVE A Nikon d5100 I USE A d3100 and have no problems with the individual rings or using the set. I seldom if ever use auto focus when doing 1:1 ratio macro images depth of field is so small that I resort to manual focus to get the portion of the image I am interested in in focus. Basically I have no problems with PLR focus ring either in auto focus or manual.

I use this lens on my 5D Mark II with great success. Set the camera to AV mode for automatic exposure, works just like normal AV mode except you use the dial on the lens to set the aperture rather than the dial on the camera. TV mode isn't available. Manual mode obviously can be used as well. There is no autofocus, but focus is very forgiving. I usually flip over to LiveView for a few seconds to focus the lens. Even on a 5DII the lens is amazingly sharp, beyond what I'd expect out of most L series lenses. Sweet spot is around F/5.6 or so, but it's sharp as tacks all the way to 2.8.

Lenses usually autofocus only on the systems they are designed for. The lens in question works on the Olympus Pen system. I have never seen or used that Panasonic, though I would doubt that a specialized Olympus lens would work.

I would say NO, Sherrill. I bought the lens for my Olympus Mini-PM1, in the hope that at least I would get two images per frame. Yes, the lens fits on the Olympus, but the camera told me "lens not supported" - doh. Had to by another Panasonic body (Lumix GF6), as the lens was useless, otherwise. It now works (on the Panasonic body), but the results are disappointing, at best. What can one expect from the two lenses so close to each other? I would stay away from it. If you are interested in stereo photography, get a Fuji W3 Stereo camera (I have two...). They are very good, by comparison! Best, Hans I would say NO, Sherrill.

I returned this lens and can't help. If others can't answer, I recommend the Panasonic forum at dpreview.com where you can search for or post your question.

I can not speak to the PEN E-PL1 but it works marvelously well with Lumix DMC G6 if that is of any value to you in your evaluation. I have been very pleased with this lens. My only demerit is that in automatic mode it occasionally has trouble focusing when set to anything but 0.19 m to infinity. I accept and acknowledge that this could well be "operator error" versus a malfunction of the lens per se.
