Comments about Konica Minolta 40.5mm Skylight (1B) Glass Filter:
This is an odd size; so order one with your OEM kit lens when buying an Olympus EP-1 or EPL-1 with the kit lens. Protect your lens!

Comments about Konica Minolta 40.5mm Skylight (1B) Glass Filter:
I bought this filter for my Olympus mZuiko 14-42mm lens because it was listed as an accessory for this lens. I found that it is vignetting at the wide-angle end of the zoom. I am no longer using it.
