Dear all,
After having used my OM gears for years and then E-1 and 14-54 and OM
lenses with adapter for another set of years, it is time for me to
upgrade my dslr. I still want to use my OM gems for mostly
macrophotography. I simply can't afford E-5. That's sad. So I am most
probably going for another manufacturer (and have my E-1 as a second
body). So please accept my apologies for writing such stuff here...
If you decided to continue reading, I am most probably buying a Canon.
I would rather go for Nikon but I assume that there are no adapters
for OM to Nikon available. If there are, please let me know!
I would appreciate if you could help me with the following questions:
1) Is there any OM to EOS adapter that allows the lens to firmly
attach to the adapter? I already bought a very cheap adapter (to test
lenses with camera shop's body) and noticed that the lens does not
lock into the adapter. So when I am rotating the focus ring, the lens
might fall off! I am seeking an adapter that has a locking mechanism
with a relief button for the lens. So are there such at all?
2) Is there any OM to EOS adapter that would NOT allow focus to
infinity? Such a adapter would be thicker and would allow mostly
macrophotography (that would be OK with me). Such an adaptor could
much easily have good locking mechanism.
3) Is there any OM to EOS adapter that would change the aperture as I
turn the aperture ring? I mean similarly as in Olympus OM to 4/3
adapter. The cheap OM to EOS adapter I bought, I have to manually
press the depth of field preview button so that the aperture sets to
correct. Well, this is good for focusing, but for macrophotography
aspects I would rather have similar action as with OM to 4/3 adapter.
4) Do you find the OM to EOS adapters basically OK for use? With this
I mostly mean that are the Canon bodies really good at measuring the
exposure?
5) Once again: are there any adapters (without changing parts of the
lens) to fit OM lens to Nikon? I don't really need focus to infinity.
Best regards,
Olli
