Taken with my vintage G.Zuiko Auto-S f/1:1.4 50mm prime mounted to an OM-D E-M1 body with an MF-2 OM Adapter. While most of the images I took on this day were shot with the lens wide open, I seem to recall stopping this one down to about f/5.6. The result seems quite sharp and the E-M1's focus peaking, which I have programmed to the Fn2 button on the body, worked flawlessly. All in all, it was a distinct pleasure to use a brilliant old manual focus lens on a magnificent modern Olympus body.

As you can see, it was a breezy cold day out with an ambient air temperature of somewhere around minus fifteen degrees Celcius. However, having used Olympus gear for years, in much more challenging weather, I had no doubts at all that the old lens and new body would perform without incident and they did just that.
