Connor Contax G 45mm f/2.0 on Olympus EP-2

            Contax G 45mm f/2.0 lens on Olympus EP2 with adapter. Connor is extracting the last few molecules of a yogurt smoothie from the plastic cap.

Just got the adapter in the mail from an eBay seller in Shanghai ($33 including shipping). I'm happy to be able to mount the G lenses at all. But since these lenses are designed as full-time autofocus on the Contax G cameras, there is no focus ring on the lens. They must be focused on the adapter with a tiny focus wheel using your thumb. On this particular adapter it is not a real smooth way to focus, and is herky-jerky. Was glad to get any shots in reasonable focus. These were taken hand-held in low light at about f/2.5. 

I may check out higher quality G-mount adapters such as RayQual (around $249 for the G-mount adapter) or at Cameraquest.com. It might be worth it to be able to use the G lenses on micro four third more conveniently.
