Question: Is it compatible with the E-PL5?
Document: A wonderful addition to my Olympus PEN E-PL5! Very pleased with this purchase; I wonder how I managed without it!
D-Solutions was quick to respond and authorized the return for a full refund. As I was about to run to the Post Office to return the VF-4, I did an Internet search to confirm the VF-4 was supported on the E-PL5. I found a review of the VF-4 on my camera that mentioned that the E-PL5 firmware has to be at V1.2 or the VF-4 wouldn't power up.
I ordered this VF-4 for my Olympus E-PL5 camera from D-Solutions, which listed the EVF as new. They were the default merchant which appeared when the product page appeared. What I received was a VF-4 that was pulled from a kit and shipped from South Korea with no warranty or documentation. Rather than a VF-4 in some kind of Olympus packaging, I received the VF-4 wrapped in a bubble wrap ball.
I give one star to Amazon and D-Solutions for not clearly identifying that the VF-4 I ordered was a pull from a kit. There are other Amazon merchants listed that identify they are selling you a pulled VF4. Had I wanted to take a pull rather than what I thought was a retail boxed item, I could have saved an additional $30.When I placed the VF-4 on my E-PL5, it wouldn't power on.
The VF-4 greatly enhanced performance, enjoyment and ease of use with my E-P3, and that's what counts.
This is one of the best view finders around. I use it on my E-p3 and it has made using manual focus lens a joy.
Expense but very well worthwhile. I use it on the E-PM2 where the screen is hard to read in sunlight. Image quality of viewfinder impressive.
I'm using the VF-4 with a Olympus E-P5 and it's a fantastic tool. Like a large optical finder with lots of information overlayed. You quickly forget that it's an EVF because the there's no smearing, motion is smooth and the image is bright and clear.
yes, your camera needs it. You really understand why when you start to use it.It's fast, easy to install and for DSLR lovers it is a must have. This makes my PEN a better camera.Pros:easy to install, light, seems securely locked.Fast viewfinder, very clear and sharp. You can consult the setup from the same view eye.Cons:on E-PM1 the viewfinder does not work while LCD is in use.
I bought the VF-4 for an Olympus Pen E-P3: updated camera firmware to 1.7, slid on the VF-4 and was propelled into eyeball Nirvana! The 2.36 dot display is a knockout: remarkable clarity and the 1.48x magnification nips at the heels of a full frame DSLR viewfinder. You get a truly eyeball filling view!
Answer: The olympus VF-4 is compatible with the E-PL5.  It was a great purchase, a bit expensive but the best one out there!
