p.3 #1mirrorless camera alt lens thread
Just goofing around with various accessories. I ended up with the Voigtlander double hot shoe and bubble level when I bought the Voigtlander Heliar 15mm..all for under $300 which seemed like a great deal. When you look through the optical viewfinder one can simultaneously glance through the optical bubble level. Quite a clever design.
One word of warning though. The Sony hotshoe adapter which I separated from it's finder is not exactly a full size standard hotshoe in that it was way too tight to slide the double hot shoe into (which works perfectly with every other hotshoe I have tried it with). A flat head screwdriver for prying and force were required.

Man, your dog is beautiful! I really love my GF1 and 20 combo. I also have the 14-140 but am not really impressed with it. I have an EP-2 coming so I plan on messing around with the 2 bodies to see what I end up keeping.

That's the type of scenario in which the E-Pens excel, particularly with the Panny 20/1.7, or CV 35/1.4 or 40/1.4 attached. The In-body stabilization would come in handy and help you keep the ISO down. I'd go with a black P2 if you go that way, though. My silver E-P1 got a lot of looks, which made it hard to be discreet. The NEX has its advantages, too. The screen makes discretion easier and high ISOs are actually usable. Either one would be a good choice.

Here is one with EP1 and Zeiss 21mm ZE using a rainbowimaging adapter. The photo was shot at vivid setting and raw. The colors out the camera were more like canon lens gave me when I used canon lens (I now only have ZE with 1DmkIV). So the colors were little pepped up in lightroom and added some sharpening and skewed the tone curve a little.

just the smc takumar 50/1.4. i don't think there is any reason to think they won't work great. that would be a pretty sweet normal lens.

I was also curious how good the Pentax 21mm 3.2 limited pancake is. Anyone have any experience with how good this lens actually is?
Well, unless the adapter were to somehow control the aperture, I guess the lens would be of limited use since it has no aperture control on the lens! Rats!

no experience with how the lens performs but they do make adapters that control aperture (at least for µ4/3), just as they do for the nikon g lenses.

There's this: http://www.photozone.de/pentax/120-pentax-smc-da-21mm-f32-al-limited-review--test-report
I'd say by the images posted that it sucks pretty bad. At least I get MUCH better results on the GH1 with other 18mm, 20mm and 21mm lenses costing a mere fraction of the $650 that Pentax is asking for theirs.

Well, I dunno if "sucks pretty bad" is really the right phrase or not. But for $650 I think maybe the qualification fits. It seems very average and nothing at all exceptional. The 18-55mm zoom kit lens that came with the old *ist cameras looks sharper than this even using the 6mp *ist DL2 body with it's ancient APS sized CCD sensor. I get similar or slightly better results on the GH1 with my Sigma 18-35mm Aspherical f3.5 zoom and that typically sells for $50 <shrug>

love to see them. i originally intended the thread to be for adapted lenses on mirrorless cameras, but it didn't seem to attract much interest, so i'm cool with it becoming a general mirrorless camera image thread.
here's a few shots with the olympus pen f 38mm f/1.8 on a NEX:
