Has anyone had any experience with this lens and the OMD EM5?

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.

I use my Sigma 19mm exclusively on an EM5 and am quite pleased with this combo. Quick focus, sharp images and looks and feels great on OMD too.....also have the Sigma 60mm lens and it is superb!

You can use OM lenses on an EM-5 body with the use of an adapter which you can also find here in Amazon, but you must be aware that automatic focus and exposure will be disabled.

NO!!!It is a Micro Four Thirds lens not for the E5 which is a 4/3 mount camera!!It will work on the EM-5,EM1,EM-10 and newer MFT cameras.Albert E

Yes, that will work perfectly fine. I use this on my OM-D EM-1 with focus peaking and it's working very well.

This is one of the first lenses I used on my E-M5. I shoot a lot of close-ups and it works great. Highly recommend it.

Yes, this lens works with Olympus m43 camera fully automatically and I'm with him on my OM-D E-M5 very satisfied - my photo gallery with this lens http://www.nahuby.sk/fotogaleria_autora.php?galeria_id=141846

I think Tom's answer is the right think to do, I was photographing off road races the last week and as. A test bring my Oly epl 3 with two prime MD lenses a 50 and 200, using the same adapter and works surprisingly GOOD, if you try everything and doesn't work may be its defective! good Luck always here to help if you need.

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.

Hi, I'm using it with OMD-EM5 and works fine. When I purchased it it did not list the OMD-EM5. However, it works just fine. I'm not sure if works for the E-30.

I haven't the slightest idea. What is the OMD-EM1. All I know is that is enables me to use Leica M mount lenses on a micro 4/3 camera. It is a dumb adaptor and doesn't transfer any electronic information to the camera.

I use it on an OMD-Em5. I do not know of any reason it would not work on the EM1. My sample is good, focus with a Summicron is right on.

Cannot speak for any lens other than the Panny 45-175 but have regarded it as one of my best lenses. Sharp, light and very useful range of zoom. I have an Oly OM E5 and this was a great choice for it.

Hi Jon,I have used the lens with myGF3, G3 and OMD E-5. Works great and love the size versus when using my Panasonic 45-200.

I have one. For the price... it is a great lens. Make sure it is well mounted and set camera to high contrast and max sharp. Don't run it more than 12-1500mm. Hard to focus but does a great job "for the price." On a side note: the lens mount is high maintenance and will loosen after a few uses. Make sure your camera body is supported somehow. Take the lens off when not in use.

Yes, that will work on the OMD EM5. It will allow you to use Nikon F-mount lenses in manual focus mode, and with manual aperture control. If the lens doesn't have a manual aperture ring you won't be able to control aperture.
