Will the VF-3 work on a Pen EP-2? What kind of firmware update is needed to make it work? Thanks in advance for your answer.

I use the VF-3 with my EPM-2 and needed no firmware update. I used it right out of the box.

According to the specs on Amazon, the VF-3 works with all Pen cameras so it should work with the EP-2. There is firmware built into the camera that controls how the body interacts with various attachments. In my case I have an EPL-1 and the firmware was too old to support the VF-3 so I just had to download a newer version. You may not have to with the EP-2 but if you do, it can be done through the Olympus website.

I don't own an E-P2 but this chart seems to indicate it will work. I just updated the firmware on my PL-1...if you already have the latest firmware, you may not need to update anything further (that's what happened with mine). http://www.olympus.co.jp/en/support/imsg/digicamera/compati/pen_optical.cfm

It will work for sure , depends on the camera model you will or will not to upgrade the firmware , in case you need it, that will be very easy to do trough Olympus site, easy and fast! Even for me a non-guru computers old man!

you need to update the EP-2 firmware to version 1.2 to allow it to work with the VF-3. See Olympus site herehttp://www.olympus-europa.com/site/en/c/cameras_support/downloads/e_p2_downloads.html

I have an E-M5 and E-P2 and it works with both. The limitation on the E-M5 is that when you're using the camera flash to remotely slave the 44-AF it can only be used on Channel "A". I believe you need to do a firmware update on it when you get it to fix a few bugs regarding the E-M5 as well. Not a big deal, you can download the firmware update software from the Metz website and update the flash with a USB cable.

Yes, but you'll need the latest firmware update. You'll love it, it's a nice upgrade over the VF-2

If those specifications are the same for the Note 3 then yes. I imagine the pen for the note 2 and 3 are the same size and everything. All I know is it works absolutely perfect for my NOTE 3 and was way cheaper than the first party samsung one. For the price, I think it would be worth trying.

Yes, the VF2 works great on my EPL-1, also. Even tho' finder doesn't have a locking device, it fits snugly enough where it will never fall off, unless you purposely want to push or knock it off, intentionally. I am very happy I chose the VF2 over the VF3. BTW, fantastic tilting viewfinder - 90 degrees - so you can shoot at waist-level. However, one has to put the eye right up to the finder

The revised firmware version does work, according to New Harbor. The first firmware version, of which I am a recipient, does not. New Harbor contacted me directly and immediately when they discovered the problem and offered to swap out my flash for one that works with the T3 series. Should you receive one that doesn't work, I believe that New Harbor will work diligently to rectify it. However, I'm also satisfied that they'll have the issue fixed on any flash you order from them.Hope this helps,Robert~

The Envy x2 11-g010nr is said to have an Atmel digitizer, so both pen and touch should be supported. My Wacom stylus *does not* work with it, and I haven't found any official info about the proper pen for the device (HP's own profile for the g010nr *does* talk about an optional stylus without providing more info or a link). I have been able to find several discussions about a HP Executive Tablet Pen now available with the release of the Elitepad 900 that is expected to work with this (apparently they use the same digitizer) -- but your best bet is going to be to call HP support directly to pose the question. The verb you used was 'confirm' and this certainly falls short of that except to be clear about the inability to support a Wacom-style pen, nonetheless hopefully it can help point you in the right direction.

Hi, while I am not an owner of an Olympus PEN, the Bower SFD9260 is supposed to work with all Olympus models that have a TTL dedicated flash system.

Hello, my name is Douglas and I am with PurrfectFinds4U, an authorized retailer for the I-Pen Mouse. The I-Pen USB (hardware) is compatible with any windows or mac o/s since it is really a mouse, only with a more ergonomic shape. The driver is firmware built into the I-Pen and will install when plugged into a USB port. However, the additional CD software, which gives it the added capabilities of drawing within any screen (applications, internet, desktop, etc.), creating screen captures and saving them as a file, etc. is only compatible up to Windows XP. (The software CD will not install on a MAC.) There is a newer version of the software which is compatible with Vista, but it sold with the wireless I-Pen Pro II (retail $99.00). As an authorized dealer, we have purchased several of the I-Pen Pro II Vista compatible software CD's separately (without the I-Pen Pro II mouse) and are currently selling them on eBay in a special combo package with the I-Pen USB model, for Vista users. (We hope to have them listed on Amazon very soon.) Here is a direct link to the listing (copy and paste it into the search box if it doesn't display as a link) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem

I realize I'm a couple months late, but just so others know this pen will NOT work with the galaxy tab 3. This should work on any of the "Note" series phones/tablets, but will not work on any other tablets. The reason is because the Note series use a special type of screen with a digitizer in it, which is what this pen is made to work with. The other tablets don't have the digitizer in their screen, therefor this pen will not work with them.

Yes it will. The EP121 is a dual digitizer tablet (Touch and Pen) so this pen will work. I own the white version to this and it works on all my Wacom-enabled screens: Surface Pro 1 and 2 (it will not work on Surface Pro 3), Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 and Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 10, lenovo thinkpad x230t, Samsung 7 Series and Samsung Ativ, Fujitsu T732 and Fujitusu Q584

I'm sorry, but can't answer your question. I use the TP3 all the time but not sure of the TM 3-2. Wish I could help, but cant.

@Philip C. BaileyYour post was a bit confusing, you said it "doest" work for the VT20 but then you say you bought the package. Did you mean it DOES -or- it DOESN'T work for the VT20?

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."

I don't know. I do know that my Intuos 4 pens don't work with an old Intuos 2.

oK I have pen, how does it work? Kids lost my original Bamboo stylus. I ordered the EP155EK for my Wacom tablet. But it does nothing. Surely, I'm doing something wrong?

This model doesn't have a digitizer screen. So any pen won't work. You need to buy the model with digitizer support which is probably few hundred dollars extra
