Nikon lenses + 4/3 adapter + DMC L1 did not work ?

[wong_se]

i mount nikon lens with 4/3 adapter to my e1. Work perfectly, albeit that it is all manual.

however, when i mount the same lens with 4/3 adapter to L1, it did not work at all.

Do I have to upgrade the L1 firmware..? or the 4/3 adapter only work with e body and not pana body ?

I think you should enable "Release shutter without lens" if I remember correctly.

Thanks ...it works now.

However, with e1, it shows whether it is under/over exposed. Hence after I set the apperture, I could dial up/down depending on the exposure.

with L1, nothing is shown. I could only roughly guess throw viewfinder and review on the LCD.

Actually this is not a big issue. SInce i am using Nikon 50mm to shot portrait. and I like e1 much more.

not really sure about L1,but your L1 what mode were you using?I'm most certain that you know that metering only takes place in aperture piority or manual mode right?^^

manual mode.

with e1 on manual mode, at least it shows the bar of under/over expose.

but on L1, nothing show up, strange.
