Default Olympus OM lenses to Olympus E-500 camera.


"Pvest" wrote in message ...
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.




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.
