I'm coming a little late to this thread but the timing is perfect as I just got my new (refurb) Pen E-PL1 today and had a chance to try it out with the Leitz 50mm bright-frame optical finder (SBOOI). It worked really well for me using the kit lens set at 50mm equivalent and AF, as Dick described. Looking forward to giving it a better workout tomorrow but so far so good. -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
