Can this viewfinder be use on Olympus M3/4 camera? like the pen E-PL2. Or the olympus viewfinder VF3 to fit the Panasonic GX1?

The viewfinders are not interchangeable. They will only work with cameras by the same manufacturer. (The LVF2 will also not work on the GF1, only the listed models.)

No... LVF2 only works on Lumix GX1 and LX-7. I do not think digital veiwfinders are interchangeable between vendors and there is no "standard mount" as far as I know.

Yes , it will work, but Panasonic released new firmware to optimize the use of these lenses starting with the camera body GF2 and there on but not for GF1. This does not mean that it can not be used. To see the functions that You will be missing read this article of DPreviews on this link http://www.dpreview.com/news/2011/8/29/panasonicfirmware . I have this lens on a G3 and hardly ever pay attention to these functions so I would not mind if I did not have them.

Yes, the camera does shoot in the Raw mode and the RAW and jpeg mode as well, it makes a very sweet file. As for the viewfinder, there is not optical viewfinder made by Panasonic, there is a HD electronic View finder, the LVF-2 and I have one and it works well enough for critical framing and is a vast improvement over the external viewfinder that was used with the GF-1.

If you're interested in the Olympus E-PL3, the good news is that Olympus makes two electronic viewfinders you could use on it. The E-VF3 is less expensive but gives a slightly smaller, lower-resolutions display. The E-VF2 is bigger and gives a slightly larger, higher-resolution display. Either of these fits into the accessory shoe and accessory port and, runs off the camera battery. You must manually switch between LCD viewing and EVF viewing. The E-VF3 often sells for about $159 new but can often be found used or refurbished for a little over $100. The E-VF2 usually runs about $40 to $50 more. These electronic viewfinders can be used on several other Olympus models as well. Bridge cameras such as the Nikon P510 and newer P520, Canon SX40 and Panasonic FZ60/FZ 100 have electronic viewfinders built in. The tradeoff is that they have smaller sensors. One low-cost point 'n' shoot camera still has an optical viewfinder built in. The Canon A1400 can be found new for as little as $89.95, and like its predecessor, the A1200 and A1300, it's a good picture taker with a sharp lens and excellent processing engine. Its optical viewfinder is tiny, but in bright-light situations it's just enough to be able to frame and compose your shots well.

Yes it will fit an E-P1 and all other cameras with an M4/3 mount. The only lenses that will fit on it are Olympus OM's (from their prior film SLR days). To fit lenses with other style mounts you will need other, appropriate adapters. You must manually focus with this and any of the other cheap adapters and you need to be able to manually set the aperture of any lens in question (such as by a lens ring with click-stops)

I have an older model of this which works well on the Olympus E3. this model will not work on speeds above 1/100. Shutter does not open fully.

Hello Maria,Although the port on the back seems very similar, it doesn't appear as though your camera is listed. I would say you could buy it and return it. I did find this on Amazon: olympus viewfinder vf-2 if you out that in Amazon's search field several viewfinders come up.

I asked Olympus customer support if this kit (specifically, this kit, on amazon, that I've preordered) included the viewfinder. Their response:from CustomerSupport@olympus.comto (me)date Fri, Jun 19, 2009 at 3:25 PMsubject RE: Fw: (Ticket #2396270) [INTR:648836]Dear Peter,The VF-1 is bundled with the 17mm lens and is part of the kit.Regards,Olympus Imaging America, Inc.

I`m not too sure about that? I only recommend and use OEM Equipment for my cameras, to assure proper fit and performance. In theory, it seems that it would. It works great on my Pens, because it is OEM. Perhaps Google can answer it, or maybe a YouTube has a video which shows this very application. If not, I could only suggest Panasonic products for Panasonic Cameras. I am a firm OEM believer in many things, and only use Sony and Olympus to get my Productions filmed. I at least hope to have steered you in a direction for your answer, Cynthia. And too, I`d think that Panasonic carries a line of accessories for your Camera type. Panasonic`s WebSite might list the items you need to outfit your rig, if you were to check with them. Then shop, and compare prices. I`m sure you will be satisfied afterwards. Good luck, Cynthia.

According to the description on the BH Photo website, "The Olympus PEN E-PL5, E-PL3, E-PL2, E-PL1, E-PL1s, E-PM2, E-PM1, E-P3, E-P2, E-M5 and XZ-2 cameras can be made compatible with the VF-4 with a free firmware update, however the eye sensor is not supported on these cameras and with the E-PL2, E-PL1, E-PL1s, E-P2, XZ-2 cameras, slight image degradation on the viewfinder is noted."

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 put it on a Panasonic M4/3. It should fit on any camera with the same mount. I believe the omd1 is also M4/3.
100561
Yes. The viewfinder works on my EP3. The EP3 is my main camera. I also use the viewfinder for my EPL3 as well.

Yes, you will definitely need a Four Third to Micro Four Third adapter. By the way, be aware that this is an excellent, but seriously big lens. I use it on an Olympus E-5, and it still is fairly bulky. On a Panasonic GH1, it might look a bit out of proportion, by size and by weight...

Yes....Panasonic lenses will work just fine. They have stabilization built in to them so you'll have to turn it off and let Olympus do the work.

Greetings, I would say that typically this bracket is used for holding and using a flash when the hot-shoe on your camera is being occupied by something else. I use an Olympus E-PL1 with a VF-2 viewfinder, so my hot-shoe is being taken up by the viewfinder. Using this bracket, I can use my VF2 and an External Flash, I've also found that the grip on the side (which is a sturdy foam) give a bit more control and less shake to my camera. Their are multiple screw mount points on the bottom of the Bracket, I would imagine that it would fit most cameras.

Yes. Here is a link to lenses on the Olympus website http://www.getolympus.com/us/en/lenses/pen-omd.html?icn=topnav&ici;=lensesnav_pen-omd-image All of the listed lenses will work on PEN or OM-D cameras but not on the full frame SLRs. Panasonic makes a 4/3 camera line with lenses that are also usable on Olympus 4/3 cameras. Hope this helps you make a choice.
