picked up a E ZUIKO auto-t 1:3.5 /135mm for almost next to nothing in very good condition today

Have already got smc tak 135mm/ 3.5 .... is it worth buying adapter or is it a re-sell.....I have absolutely no experiance with olympus glass

Or buy adapter anyway in case of more olypus bargain glass Laughing
Does anybody have experience with both for a comparison?

I never use Zuiko 3.5/135 but test Zuiko 2.8/135mm. I love bokeh and color.

But SMC Takumar 3.5/135mm is the one of my best 135mm lens for me.

Finally, you can let Zuiko go and find Zuiko 2.8/135mm instead and you'll find the great stuff.

Zuiko glass is generally excellent. I have the 135/3.5 but haven't tested it seriously. I picked up a 135/2.8 for a song recently, and would love to compare them. Atilla speaks highly of his 2.8, and John Foster thinks the 3.5 is even sharper.

So yes, I'd pick up an adapter, there's some stunning Zuiko glass out there. I have: 50/1.4, 135/3.5, 135/2.8, 200/4. And there are some great 3rd party lenses in OM mount as well. My Vivitar Series 1 90/2.5 is an OM. Very Happy
