christinelind (a group admin) says: 04 Mar 07 - Hi All, Please add pictures of your gear to the Pictures of Your Gear discussion thread instead of the group pool. Pictures of gear taken with a legacy lens + 4/3rds camera body are still welcome in the group pool, as long as it is clear from the tags and/or description which lens and camera were used. Thanks! |

About 4/3rds Adapters: Legacy Lenses on Four Thirds DSLR BodiesWelcome all users of Legacy Lenses on 4/3rds cameras!

Tags: To make it easy to search for your pictures, please tag your pictures with: (lens adapter type ie: OM:4/3 adapter, etc.) (original lens mount ie: OM, etc.) (lens focal length ie: 100mm, 20-80mm, etc.) (lens type ie: Zuiko, Vivitar, etc.) (camera body used ie: E-500, E-1, etc.) If using Leica lenses, please help those of us less familiar with the Leica nomenclature by including the focal length and aperture as well as the lens name (eg Leica Summicron-M 50mm f2) IMAGES THAT HAVE NO TAGS TO SHOW WHICH LENS WAS USED, OR EXIF TO SHOW A 4/3rds CAMERA WAS USED MAY BE DELETED WITHOUT FURTHER WARNINGLinks: Test of OM Zuiko Lenses on an E-1 by John Foster: http://www.biofos.com/cornucop/omz_e1.html Using Legacy Lenses on Digital SLRs by Andrzej Wrotniak: http://www.wrotniak.net/photo/quest/q08.html Some other groups you may be interested in: www.flickr.com/groups/olympusesystem/ (for users of Olympus E-system cameras - possibly one of the liveliest discussion groups on Flickr) www.flickr.com/groups/olympus_e-system_information/ (LOTS of information about the Olympus E-system - includes a section on legacy lenses: more info always welcome!) Manual Focus Forum ( www.forum.manualfocus.org ). A useful forum: Discuss how to buy, fix, clean, and use all the old manual focus photography kit you can find. M42, Pentacon 6, Contax, Leica, Canon, Nikkor, Carl Zeiss Jena, Asahi Pentax Takumars etc! I particularly like this thread: www.forum.manualfocus.org/viewtopic.php?id=10905 Which compares the OM 50mm f1.2, f1.4 and f1.8 and shows that faster isn't always better...
