Can i use Nikon lens on the Olympus PEN E-P1?

I use my Nikon and Leica M lenses with Novoflex adapters on my Pen E-P1

It works great, the results are marvelous, but nothing works automatic.
The foto’s are just as sharp as those from my Nikon D300. You can buy 10 Pen’s for the same amount of Euro’s as 1 Leica M9, and that is no choice !

Yes. The lack of a mirror box in Panasonic’s and Olympus’ Micro Four Thirds system allows for a shorter flange focal distance than the traditional SLR design. The FFD of the PEN E-P1 is shorter than that of Nikon’s—which happens to use one of the longer flange focal distances—so you will be able to use most Nikon F-mount lenses with few exceptions. In fact, the M4/3 FFD is so short that it’s the most adaptable digital interchangeable system currently available. All you need is a Nikon to Micro Four Thirds adapter of which there are several to choose from. If you want an “official” adapter, Voigtlander’s Nikon F adapter is it: http://www.cameraquest.com/adp_micro_43.… There are plenty of other “unofficial” adapters available too that may work just as well:
