Hi

I recently bought a Schneider-Kreuznach Xenar 50mm f/2.8-16.0 lens and wanted to mount it on my Olympus E-510 body. Is it possible to have this kind of convertor ? I search through ebay but found none.

You can go for a DKL to M42 adapter + M42 to OM 4/3 adapter combination.

DKL-to-M42 adapter is EUR70 shipped.

I am using this adapter together with my M42-to-EOS adapter on my 40D Cool

It should not affect the image quality.

One of our members, Farside, is using the DKL-to-M42 adapter, and he posted some pics a few weeks ago.

Another option is ...

get the DKL to Nikon adapter (i assume you still have your D70), and then a Nikon to OM4/3 adapter.

This should work as well, but i do not have tried it myself.

I don't think I have ever seen a DKL/Nikon adapter. What does the DKL stand for?

Deckel mount, as used by Kodak Retina SLRs and Voigtländer in the 50s /early 60s.
