Has anyone used this lens before?
How is it different from 21/3.5?

I have a Leica Elmarit R 28/2.8 Rom version, which is the latest version.
It's out of this world....

But, I want try a wider lens...between 18 and 21....

I've heard so many good things about following lenses;

OM 18/3.5
OM 21/2.0
OM.21.3.5
CZJ 20/2.8
CZJ 20/4.0

But I've never heard of OM 20/3.5....

Where did you see the 3.5/20. I don't think there is one. Olympus had a M42 camera for a while maybe it is for that short lived system Confused

I don't know. Confused
Maybe it is for a PEN
The Buttons are in the wrong place for OM mount.
The button on the right could be for the lens release.
On an OM the left button would be on the bottom for DOF preview.
This one is on the top. Also the lens does not have the styling of the OM series lenses.
I'm curious now. Where did you find this?

I google searched the lens....and it seem like it is a Pen lens...
Can this be monted on 5D?

No I'm Afraid the register is not compatible. The image circle would be too small for 5D's full frame as well. It would probably cover a 4/3 sensor Rolling Eyes But still a problem with register. I think Nester mentioned that used this system at one time. I could be remembering incorrectly however.

I have 2 of the OM 3.5/21mm's for sale with right of return.

Exactly, it's a lens for the PEN system. Not usable on a DSLR.

Before OM Olympus made a series of camera from third party manufacturer, shame to wear Olympus name. Maximum average lens.

ATTILA

Pen system or m42?

Some phoptoggraphers told me that the pen lenses were very good ones. Zoom 50-90, the normal 38 mm, the tele 150 mm, and I don't remember more.

The m42 hadn't very good opinions ins Argentina, they sold very bad.

Regards, Rino.
