Oly is not specific to the question but I would think auto aperture would work on the (non)-Micro four thirds lens since the AF feature works through the adapter. If interested take a look at dpreview's test of the 50mm f/2.0 macro, yes, thats f/2.0: http://www.dpreview.com/lensreviews/olympus_50_2_o20/ Sonny Carter wrote: > On Wed, Apr 14, 2010 at 6:31 AM, Dennis <dennis at hale-pohaku.com> wrote: > > >> 30mm? or 50mm?
