I own a number of excellent ?vintage? lenses from Leica and Olympus and Fuji 
and Panasonic digital bodies. Of those digital bodies, the Panasonic GX80 
works especially well as a platform for the old lenses, because it 
automatically switches from AF to MF when a non-AF lens is mounted, and its 
focusing aid works well too. Yesterday I received an adapter to mount my 
Olympus Zuiko lenses on the Panasonic, and set out to test the f2/85mm on my 
favourite subject in the office, under rather demanding conditions, wide 
open at close distance. It works:
