If I want to use the Pansonic M4/3 lens on Olympus PEN, do not need to use the lens adpater?

Anyone know how much is this lens:

All the Panasonic M4/3 lenses can be used on Olympus E-P1 (PEN) without requiring the lens mount.

I think most the panasonic lens used by E-P1 is currently 14-140mm and 45-200mm. I learn from one who suggest to me to pay attention to the following guides to get better resutl. I tried it with my 45-200mm and found it is very useful with good result.

EP1 防震 ON , 14-140 OIS OFF = WIDE 景 OK, TELE 麻麻
EP1 防震 OFF. 14-140 OIS ON = WIDE 景 OK, TELE 都 OK
EP1 防震 OFF , 14-140 OIS OFF = WIDE 景 麻麻, TELE唔得
EP1 防震 ON , 14-140 OIS ON = WIDE 景 麻麻 ,TELE 唔得

結論係, EP1 防震 同埋 MEGA OIS 唔可以一齊開, 任選其一下, 鏡頭防震永遠比機身防震好.

Hi DSIP,

Thank you for sharing the information. I have bought the Panasonic m4/3 45-200mm lens yesterday. I will try it by following your suggestion.

BTW, do you like your 45-200mm? Any expereince (good or problem) in using this lens can be shared.

Also the guy in Boardway suggested to buy the adpater and get the Olympus 4/3 lens is better than get the Panasonic M4/3 lens, what do you think?

The other two lens that I am going to buy is Panasonic m4/3 45mm Macro (Leica branded) and a telezoom. Please advise whether the 45mm macro is worth to buy and suggest the telezoom (over 200).

Thanks in advance.

I do not have the idea of using the two lens that you may buy. I have only the Panasonic 45-200mm. And almost bought a P. 14-140mm but was not succes. The reason is stated in following message that I had sent to the one who advised me to follow the guide in using the lens ;

原計劃購買Panasonic 14-140mm 取代 E-P1 kit 14-42mm鏡及 及已購買的45-200mm,取其方便.但昨天與賣家交易時,地點為油塘港铁站, 在路面但封閉式. 其中一边透光, 當時雨後陰天, 但光綫亦好,只是無陽光, 我以我的 Panasonic 45-200mm V.1.1 與他的 14-140mm 比較. 由双方使用我的 E-P1 測試此两支鏡, 用了差不多五十分鐘, 竟然效果差不多,較遠焦距的目標不清楚. 使用 ISO 800 也一樣, 甚至較我的鏡差. 但賣價 $6500- 两枝均是新鏡. 雙方認為可能 fireware 未更新. 但我不願冒險,維有放棄購買. 他的鏡头是水貨,日本製, 單據證明本月七號在台灣買,其連同一起的相机 GH1 已售,他說行貨在港出售是中國製造. 查詢代理售價是$8300-,要定貨, 他的鏡 安上 E-P1顯示 Version 1.0.
to be continued...........

Following the guideline, I am very satisfied with my 45-200mm. I used it to take photos in attending stage show last night. The sitting area was dark, the stage show was one-man show with weak lighting. I could get satisfactory photos in such poor lighting circumstance.

I will not follow the suggestion of the sales. I bought my E-P1 and the mount MMF1 ($1390), ,Having used OM 40-150 mm, I sold the len and bought P.45-200mm. I also put the MMF1 on sell but not yet sell out because of the price.. I don't know it you has read the user comment of the 14-200mm and 45-200mm in this `dcfever' wed. You may know something. I don't know if you are member of OM user, you may get more information regarding E-P1 with OM lens.
