Standard 4/3 lenses require a 'mmf-1', 'mmf-2' or 'mmf-3' adapter. No
optics (the sensor size is the same). 1 is silver, 2 is black and half the
weight (feeling *very* light) and 3 is like 2 but with a built in o-ring to
weather seal it. Panasonic sold the 1 as ''dmw-ma1'. There is even a third
party one (but I have no experience with that one).

The OEMs will get you auto focus but *very* slow. Think 0,5 - 2 seconds,
depending on the lens.

Best, Frank.
