Novoflex is a german company and we still miss a complete english translation on his website. But if you speak some german you can order the adapter. Price is 149 Euro.

Back to work! I found inside a japanese forum followig news:

The poster made a list with lenses which are supported by liveview AF contrast function. It is important for both  Panasoni and Olympus camera owners. May a japanese reader can help us to make a quick summary. Google translate is (as always) not the best solution.

The first lens will be a normal zoom kit lens
The second lens could be a long end zoom.
The third lens will be prime lens. A fast one!

One thing is sure. With your Panasonic or Olympus micro four thirds camera you will be able to use a lot of M-mount lenses! We already wrote an article over the very loooooong adapter list.

Don’t forget the new Novoflex and Voigtländer Adapter.

Wouldn’t be wonderful to use Leica lenses on your digital camera? So you want to see which lenses are avaiable and how good they are?

I will give you some help ;)

1) Voigtländer lenses. This page list them all adding some personal judgment from the author

2) A very deep review of M-mount lenses are avaible here at luminous landscape.

3) And we don’t want to forget to mention the BIG guru Ken Rockwell!

Feel free to update the list in your comments!!!
