Hey Paul,
It is not that the lenses will only open to in the ranges quoted but rather
that Oly only recommend using the quote ranges for acceptable performance.
As Moose notes there are metering accuracy issues outside of these ranges as
well as possibly some resolution issues due to the sensor site "well" issue.
There has not yet been an advanced study by the list into the results from
OM Zuikos on the E System. It was proposed recently that testing could be
conducted to see for ourselves how they perform and what if any compensation
should be used to get best results.
HTH, Dan S.

Subject: [OM] Well, my OM - 4/3 adapter came
And I'm not quite as excited.... if I read the chart properly, my
50mm 1.2 will only open to 2.8? And while I was excited by the
though of using my 65-200 zoom at the race in a couple of weeks, the
fact that the chart shows max f-stop of 8 kinda sucks. When I need
to isolate a driver in a crowd or pick out a car on a track, f8 just
ain't gonna cut it.
Those of you that have been using the adapter with your OM glass --
do you ignore the chart? Or is it, in fact, the truth?
