Looks good!

My favorite manual lens on my E-M1 is the Oly OM 35-80mm f/2.8. Quite a few 
examples are in my FLICKR album:

These are all taken at shows by KEXP in Seattle, the majority at the Triple 
Door. I believe most of them are all taken at ISO 6400, at f/2.8. I use the 
Focus Peaking option for the rather extreme lighting and the spot measuring for 
the light meter. I also use quite a few other OM lenses as well (mostly on the 
telephoto end), with very good success.
