If I purchase this camera, will I have to buy a M4/3 adapter to get different lenses? I am hoping to get a fish eye, wide angle, and telephoto lenses

It should be possible to find these on Amazon either as Olympus lenses or Panasonic. They are interchangeable

I think new model of Canon or nikkon is better, and you have more lens to play with. I am not sure about lens that go with this series.

The answer is: It depends on whose brand, and how much money you want to spend. MANY lenses are already available for native 4/3 Olympus cameras. Search on 'Lenses for Micro 4/3 olympus. There is an avalanche of infor, and some guys have collated this info already. The Rokinon fisheye is avail as native 4/3 just about everywhere

You can use a simple adapter from ebay. Make sure it's the correct flange distance. They're usually off by 0.25mm. It's better if it's shorter than if it's longer, because the focus ring moves the entire set of lens elements further forward. For panorama photography on Micro 4/3 you can complete a sphere in 4 shots while filling up most of the sensor.

No you will need an adapter. Depending on where you get it from the lens may be sold with the adapter

You mean the DMC-FZ200 right? I ordered the conversion lens for it but I did not have right adapter, its still a mystery to me as to which adapter really fits perfectly onto it because the one I ordered did not.

Your problem may be the same as mine: although the box was labeled as an extension for Micro Four Thirds, inside the box was an extension for a standard Nikon mount, which is too big for M4/3.

Not directly, but there may be an adapter. You should just buy a wide lens for your 4/3 body. It's still a great camera.Use it until it dies.

This lens is universal type, all you have to get, is the adapter that suits Your camera, and if i'm not wrong, that adapter follows With lens if you state what camera you have when ordering.

No. I do not know of any adapters that can do it. I initially thought of the same, it did not work out - so I bought the camera as it was cheaper than getting a 22 mm lens for a DSLR.

From what I understand you can, I have the T3. I believe they make all of the lenses interchangeable.

Yes all 4/3rds lenses will work, but you will need an adapter like mmf2 or mmf3.You may not get the same auto focusing speed though. lenses that are contrast detect based e.g 14-54 Zuiko will give you good focus speed

EOS M has it's own mound: the M mount, and you can use an adapter to convert it to EF lenses. I got a MEIKE adapter for $33 for my EOS M

You need to buy an adapter for the wide angle, they are not canon. The two canon lenses work great. The 18 to 55 is a good all around lens. The package deal wasn't bad. I'm a little annoyed about the wide angles not being compatible.

Yes, you have to use the Q to K adapter, but the focal length is multiplied by 5, which will render most of them pointless for most usage.Only wide lenses will really be usable (like a 15mm lens which will act like a 65mm).

You'll need a compatible T-Mount Adapter for your camera and a T-Adapter lens. Both can be purchased on Amazon.

Hi George, it includes the adapter for your camera. The cool thing is that you can buy adapters for other cameras such as Canon or Nikon and use the same lens.

Sue, if you plan to stick to one system, you will want to buy the Olympus. The in-body stabilization allows it to work with any m4/3 lens, and the Olympus and Panasonic lenses are terrific. Buy the 45mm lens - open the aperture and begin taking pro quality portraits after a short time. Also, the Panasonic 20mm can't be beat for quality and size (though the Oly 17mm is great too, and smaller) and if you want the best zoom, get the 14-150mm Oly for the perfect travel set-up (which provides your wide-angle spectrum). Even a pro could get by with the 20mm, the 45mm, and the 14-150 (and you could always add the 12mm Oly later if you save your pennies!). The E-M5 will never be obsolete. Initial reviews and image samples allow it to challenge flagship, full-size competitors in many situations. I currently own the E-P3 and chose it over the Sony because of the huge gap in lens quality - and I don't regret it for a minute. The E-M5 is just a better all-around choice than any other small system.
