Luckily it is way thinner than the EF &#8211; M43 one and fits nicely between my E-P1 and an old F Zuiko 38mm f1.8 lens from my Olympus Pen F.

The only problem is &#8230; how on earth do I turn on the MF Assist (enlarged view) on the E-P1 when I&#8217;m in Manual Focus mode? I know that if I use lenses meant for the cam, I can just switch to Manual Focus mode and the display will automatically be enlarged when I&#8217;m manual focusing to help my fuzzy old eyes see better. The problem is that when old lenses like this 38mm are mounted with an adapter &#8230; the MF Assist view doesn&#8217;t seem to appear &#8230; even when I tried toggling the various views by pressing the &#8216;INFO&#8217; button. Hmm. I browsed the user manual but don&#8217;t seem to find the answer to it. Maybe I&#8217;ll go bug those people in the forums tomorrow and see if anyone can help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You must be going &#8216;Not another blog entry about his E-P1!!!!&#8217;.
