Olympus OM lenses to Olympus E-500 camera.
 

I have an old Olympus OM-2 camera with several Olympus OM-system (Zuiko) lenses.

Recently I bought a new Olympus E-500 digital camera and I believe that I red some place that these old Olympus OM lenses are compatible with Olympus E-500 cameras? But they have to be used with manual focus, since they don't have any electronics!!

I tried to attach one of these lenses to my E-500, but it doesn't seem to fit and I don't wont to force it into the camera socket!!

So I wonder if anybody can confirm whether these old lenses can be used in an Olympus E-500 camera or not?

Thanks.



Regards,



Pvest.

Seems to me there is an adapter.
My first and second SLR cameras were OM-1 and OM-2.
Lost in a fire.
I am not over it yet.

Yes, you are right. I found an OM adapter when diving deeper into the web.
But I think some one is making blood money here, when they charge us old Om
users more than 100$ for a adapter for to enable us to use some of our old
original equipment.

I actually paid less for an original Olympus 40-150mm digital lens and here
they are, wanting more than 100$ for a ring (adapter)!! :o(

You can get one free from olympus, just call Olympus Tech support and they
will send you one.

or

E-mail your name, address, and the serial number from your camera body to
along with a note requesting a 4/3 - OM adapter, and
Olympus should set you right up.
