Great compact, fast lens for general photography
1 von 1 finden das hilfreich Overall an excellent lens for all-around photography. Small, light, slim profile, it turns an Olympus E-P1 or E-PL1 into a true pocket compact camera. Great for street photography, landscapes, interiors; fast autofocus. Only improvement would be to make the lens build a bit more substantial, i.e., heftier and less plasticky but that seems to be the standard for most non-Pro lenses these days. A great buy.

A great entry into the micro-four thirds digital system
I bought the Olympus E-P1 not so much to get into the micro four-thirds digital standard per se, but because the micro 4/3 cameras, with a variety of low-cost lens adapters, allow the use of legacy/vintage manual focus lenses like those made for Leica rangefinders or the old film 35mm SLRs. Like many other photographers I've accumulated a few of these lenses over the years , but they have not gotten much use since I switched to a digital SLR a few years back. It was a toss-up between the Olympus E-P1 and the Panasonic Lumix G-1, both first-generation m 4/3s cameras (and as such available at good value now that a slew of new models have come out).
The reasons I went with the E-P1 instead of the G-1: (a) I have been a big Olympus user for almost 30 years, and I trust their cameras and optics; (b) the styling of the Olympus is great and based on the classic Olympus Pen-F 35mm half-frame SLR camera from the '60s; (c) it is more unobtrusive to use than the G-1, which looks more like a small DSLR. I like the feel of the E-P1, it's very solid but very compact, the controls are easy to use, and it comes with a lot of great features, including in-camera image stabilzation, which I have never used before but find to be extremely useful for low-light/slow-shutter speed shooting.
I know that other reviewers consider the lack of an electronic viewfinder, slow auto-focusing, and lack of a built-in flash downsides of the E-P1. Since I use the camera predominantly for daylight/available light photography using vintage manual focus lenses, I find that having no flash or a slow AF to be no problem (though note that the AF issue has been improved with the latest v1.4 firmware update). I do find that the lack of an electronic viewfinder can be a problem when shooting in strong sunlight----users of point-and-shoots will be familiar with this problem when they frame their photos with the external LCD. However, I consider it more of an annoyance than anything else, and I've ordered an LCD screen hood to cut back on the glare----I'll update this post once I get it to let others know how it goes. This is the sole reason I have rated the product "Good"---in reality if there was a score between Good and Excellent, that's where I would put it.
Overall, am very pleased with the camera-it's as good as the reviews have made it out to be and has got me shooting a lot more since it is much smaller and lighter to carry around than my DSLR (an Olympus E-500). It's great to be able to put the camera in one coat pocket (with a small vintage normal lens mounted), with another small vintage telephoto in another pocket and be able to capture a lot of great photos without a lot of crazy gear. After two weeks I only just used the kit zoom (which is amazingly small and appears to be very sharp and good), but I can't really say much about it since I don't really have much experience with it yet. Hope this helps.
