You have right Orio, Olympus-E system is not usable at all for old wide angle lenses.


Yes, damn him for pointing that out...I'm kidding, Orio! Laughing

Yes, the Olympus system would make a fantastic second cam.
But I also would not like to shoot with a 2x-crop all the time.
I'm too much into wide-angle photography.

Let me dream:
1. Canon EOS 5D (for most of the M42s)
2. Nikon D200 (for all those great MF Nikkors)
3. Pentax K10D (for the fascinating K-mounts and the M42s)
4. Olympus E-1 or E-500 (for nice tele effects)

Oh well, this would mean about € 6.000,- just for the cams! Shocked

Camera arrived today, 2 days early! Came with 3 batteries, charger,
software, manuals. Looks almost brand new! Now if I only had the
adapter so I could take some pictures....

I think it depends on what you like to shoot most.

For teleshooting and especially wildlife, this camera will do wonders for you.

I mean, imagine the quality of the Meyer/Pentacon 200mm f4 with that 2x crop factor Smile That's a very decent telelens then!

I have a 200/2.8 Vivitar I'll be trying soon that I got for $15, delivered.
Yeah, this won't be for landscapes but I have medium format film if
I want to shoot those. Wink So far, I'm very pleased with it's performance!

Attila, it's a 200/3.5 lens, not 2.8, my bad. If you still want a pic, LMK.

Take a look on mflenses.com gallery Japanese Lenses Vivitar. I guess they are quiet good quality sharp lenses.
