Can I use Nikon lenses on the Olympus E-P1 PEN?

Can I use my Nikon lenses in the Olympus E-P1 PEN? What Do I have to buy adapter If I buy? Thanks Zez!

Yes, the lack of a mirror in the box Panasonic and Olympus Micro Four Thirds system allows for shorter focal length of flange that the traditional SLR design. Funding for the development of the PEN E-P1 is less than Nikon's-that happens to use one of the flange focal distances, for you can use most Nikon F-mount lenses with a few exceptions. In fact, the M4 / 3 is so short that FFD is the most adaptable system available digital interchangeable currently. All you need is an adapter Nikon Micro Four Thirds of which there are several to choose from. If you want an "official" adapter, the adapter Voigtlander Nikon F is: http://www.cameraquest.com/adp_micro_43.htm There are plenty of other "unofficial" adapters available that can also function as well: http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_nkw=nikon+to+g1&_sacat=0&_trksid=p3286.m270.l1313&_sop=12&_dmpt=Lens_Accessories&_odkw=nikon+to + E-P1 and _osacat = 0 These adapters are quite expensive now since M4 / 3 was recently announced. Price will be reduced when more Chinese manufacturers enter the market, which is bound to happen if M4 / 3 is a great success. I forgot to mention some important points: – 2x crop factor of the M4 / 3 standard applies – "G" openings the lens does not fit in – Manual focus only – Stop down metering (aperture priority) or manual exposure only
