Product Description

If you have a SLR or DSLR camera and other maker/mount lenses, the Fotodiox Mount Adapters allow you to use your lenses on the film/digital camera body. Sharing lenses has some distinct advantages. Certain prime lens just can't be replaced, and you save cost of purchase lenses. ¡Fotodiox offers a range of adapter from large format to smaller format digital adapters. Adapting larger format lens, i.e., large format û medium format, medium format û 35mm, excellent edge-to-edge sharpness; and the smaller 24x36 mm image field helps minimize the effects of lens distortion and aberration.

This is the exact same thing you would by if you were to purchase the olympus adapter. (om-f1 i think is the model) Works excellent with my old om-zuiko lenses and teleconverters. Makes my old lenses even BETTER than my $500 digital lenses, but you have to shoot in full manual mode, which i always do anyway. Buy this one not the $100 olympus version. ITS THE SAME EXACT THING!

This review is from: Fotodiox Lens Mount Adapter, Olympus OM Zuiko Lens to OM 4/3 (Four Thirds) Mount Camera Adapter, for Olympus E-3, E-5, E30, E-620, E-600, E-520, E-510, E-450, E-420, E-410,E-400,E-300, Panasonic Lumix DMC-L10, L1 (Electronics)

This is the second Fotodiox lens adapter that I've bought, and both work flawlessly. For a long while I've had two Olympus OM lenses laying around, a 135mm and a 50mm f3.5 macro. Well I guess they felt lonesome stuck on a back shelf, and when an opportunity to buy a Lumix G1 body came up, I did. And, I got a Fotodiox adapter to mount the lenses on the G1. Well, somewhat later, I picked up an Olympus E-600 with the kit lens at a great price. By this time, I had gotten several more Oly OM lenses used on eBay - to use on the G1.

Since the Fotodiox for the G1 had worked so well, I bought the Fotodiox adapter for the OM lenses to Oly E bodies. Now, this adapter works just as well. The build is excellent, with a tight fit, not loose but not overly tight either. Mounting it on the camera, and mounting OM lenses on it feel like this adapter was made by Olympus, and fit and finish is great. Nope, it doesn't support auto-focus or auto aperture, but if you read the description of the product, you know that before you buy it. After reading two reviewer's comments, I've been checking closely the adapter, camera body lens mount, and the lenses mounting flange for any type of wear, and have yet to find any. I do quite a bit of nature photography, and Spring is a good season here in Florida. On an average day shoot here in the forests, swamps, and rural countryside, I may change lenses back and forth from telephoto to macro to wide angle 4 - 8 times during the course of the day. And, as I said earlier, I have seen no wear.

This adapter offers you the ability to use some great OM lenses with the E bodies, and at a price that's so low it's almost absurd. I can, and will, highly recommend this product.

Hello, I purchased this adapter to use my OM 50mm macro on the E-620 and it works like a charm. The lock tightness is just right on both the lens and the camera body. With all my respect for Olympus, it is a great, inexpensive alternative to the original.
