Has anyone paired the Olympus OM-D E-M10 with the Panasonic 20mm lens? Is this combination preferred over the M10 with Olympus 17mm lens?

I have that exact combo and absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I can't compare it to the Olympus 17mm, but I can tell you it is a fantastic lens!

the 20mm lens is a bit slower to focus but considerably sharper, I used them both with Cross Country action shots, and the 20mm blew the 17mm out of the photographic water so to speak.

The Panny is slower on the auto focus, but the pancake Oly is only 2.8 versus the 1.7 on the Panny. To get 1.8 in Panny you have to go up in size and price. Focus speed, size, and aperture, those are the considerations in the trade off.

I had a 20mm MkI on a GX1 side by side. I also have the EM10 with 17mm. I can't comment on the image quality. I sold my old Panny stuff and jumped on Oly camp without doing much. The 20mm is actually slower to focus compare to the 17mm on both cameras.

Both are fine. As to which is"preferred" that's up to you. I like the 20mm personally.

I have the 15mm leica m43 lens and the 35-100 f2.8 lumix as well as the 25 mm leica f1.4 and it is the sharpest lens I own with extremely good color rendition. I have not used the 20mm panasonic lens, but if you can afford it, I think you will be happier with the leica though with the 25mm lens the camera I use becomes larger than a pocket camera. I use my lenses on a Lumix GX7.

The Olympus 25mm/1.8 shares similar properties with the 45mm/1.8. Similar good workmanship (plastic body), similar size, similar good image quality. There is no image stabilization in the lens. The IS of my E-M5 works equally good on both lenses. I do not know how it performs on the Panasonic GM-1, but both lenses are great on the E-M5.In comparison, the Olympus 17mm/1.8 has a somehow higher quality rating due to it's metal body, but the image quality is slightly worse.

I faced the same dilemma and went through many sites (dpreview, thewirecutter, etc.) & YouTube videos (Tony Northrup, few others) before settling on the E-M10. I think the consensus was that the a6000 was slightly better image & feature-wise, but the Oly was smaller, cheaper, and most importantly had a far greater selection of lenses.

I'm using this on a Olympus E-M10 which has it's own internal auto focus. When I turn that off manual focus works fine, I have no complaint about the ability to manual focus with this lens.

These extension tubes should work fully with all micro four thirds cameras. My experience with the Olympus E-M1 is that it performs as claimed. Auto-focus worked fine. There is no reason not to expect it to perform well on your E-M10.

The 17mm f1.8 is the default lens I use the most on my E-M5. I've taken some great pictures with it! I upgraded from a e-pl1 last year and have to say I totally love the E-M5. I may eventually upgrade to the OM-D E-M1 but at this time don't see a need.

Yup... Know that feeling. I added the Panasonic 20mm after a month. Nice to have a lens with a large aperture.

Just to clarify my answer: you can use Panasonic IS on Olympus. Micro 4/3 lenses are compatible. With Olympus sensor image stabilization also on, you will get a conflict. You can certain try it to see the effect of double image stabilization. I own an Olympus EPL3 and a Panasonic Lumix GX1. I always turn off lens IS if I use Panasonic lens on my Oly.

The M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-50 lens works with any Olympus Micro 4/3 camera, so yes it does fit the Olympus OM-D E-M10. Micro 4/3 lenses (and cameras) have an "M" in their names (as in "M.Zuiko"). Standard 4/3 lenses don't have the "M," and can only be used with Micro 4/3 cameras if you add an adapter.

THIS QUESTION IS ANSWERED. THANKS TO ALL. (I ended up buying the Olympus E-M1.)

Mike -my name is Jim-I have the MF-2 OM adaptor using it on an EM-5 -and it works with several legacy lenses from my old OM-1 and OM-2 cameras-obviously auto focus does not work with those lenses-I'm not familiar with the E-PM1 but I'd be surprised if your lenses didn't work -especially if they're selling it to fit your camera-hope this helps -love the Olympus cameras

It will feel front heavy compared to native micro-four thirds lenses. That being said, I use my 12-60mm on my E M1 routinely and it's one of my favorite combinations.Of note is that the E M10 (if I remember correctly) doesn't support PDAF focusing, and so the focusing won't be as fast and reliable compared to use on a full-size Four Thirds SLR body, or the E M1 (so far the only micro Four-Thirds body that I'm aware of supporting PDAF).

The other responder is correct - the E-M1 supports all m4/3 lenses natively. You should turn off either the lens OIS or the body IBIS, and not use both simultaneously. However personally, I would turn off the lens OIS and rely on the newer 5-axis IBIS in the E-M1 body.

Yes it will. I also feel that Olympus bodies are better, because of built in in body stabilization. Panasonic bodies focus faster though with this lens.

The lens does have an Olympus warranty for a set time. I haven't had a need for it. The lens is small and works well with two positions. I have an electric lens cap on it, so I should never lose the cap. Attached to the Olympus M10 and with the electric cap, everything has a small footprint and light weight.

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.
