E-M10 Trouble?

Previously I had a GX1 camera, and purchased 3 Lumix lens for it. The lens were quite easy to mount on that body, without any resistance, as you call it.

I recently switched to an E-M10 and noticed the same thing as you are describing here. The Pana lens feel quite tight when mounting on the E-M10's body.

I've read similar experiences from others on this forum. So I don't think that you should worry about it.
The E-M10's mount is just a bit tighter that the others, but this shouldn't affect anything else.

 

My 17 1.8 and 45 1.8 are still fairly tight even after a couple of months. But I am used to having them fit a little tighter. As long as you don't have to really forecfuly turn them they should be fine.

 

This is a known problem with some EM10s, Some people have given up and returned the camera since they find that it does not improve over time. There are two threads on this on dpreview in the last couple of months.

I have found a solution that works for me and for some others who have tried it: nasal sebum, sometimes called "nose grease." A tiny bit on a finger, rubbed once around the flat flange of the camera. I have found that this tiny amount does not leak into my camera. (I was reluctant to try any other lubricant since it is so hard to make sure that the amount used is miniscule, and I felt there is danger of capillary movement of the lubricant into the camera body.)

Notice that this method is at your own risk. If you do try it, why not post your experience here.

The oils from your forehead work easily as well. Who would have thought?:smile:

 

Worked fine for the Oly 60 on E-M10 too, the only lens I own with this problem.
