Adapters for Four Thirds lenses on Micro Four Thirds cameras:
  • DMW-MA1 Official
    AF: Not guaranteed by the manufacturer — Autofocus operates only via the camera body's contrast-detect "Imager AF" system (Four Thirds lenses were designed for phase-detect DSLR AF, and no adapter restores that). In general, SWD (Supersonic Wave Drive) lenses focus faster and more reliably than older non-SWD lenses, and AF speed/behavior varies by camera body and firmware version. Exact AF compatibility differs by specific camera body and lens combination — check the manufacturer's official compatibility chart before relying on AF for a particular pairing.
