I friend of mine is selling a nice Oly OM-101 with two lenses, a 35-70 and a 70-210, both 1:3,5-4,5.
I'm not sure if I could use those lenses on my 350D, and if this would be worth of... He's asking for 100€ for the pack. The camera looks like new, the lenses are in good condition.

Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Jes.

If these are Olympus manual focus lenses, yes you can use them on a EOS camera.
If these instead are new AF 3/4 Olympus lenses, you can not.

Think all you need is an OM>EOS adapter, and you're there. Zuiko is
such great lenses!
