All about 4/3 and m43 adapters (for different mounts)

[whyzee]

revive this topic again. Anyone know where can i get Nikon-m43 adaptor with focus confirmation?
I got one with no focus confirmation, but it reduces my hit rate.

/Hi. Anyone know if I could use a OM > 4/3 adapter and a 4/3 > m43 adapter to mount a om lens on a micro 4/3 camera? Will it work ?

 

[spidey89]

it will work,I do that,hahahha

Wow great. Can use the lens on my old 4/3 as well ;p. Will doing this affect anything since there will be 2 adapter between the lens and body (eg focal length and such)?

 

[spidey89]

By right no, I can't really explain in technical terms,but the adapter sort of adds back the dept of the mirror which allows the 4/3 lenses to be used on the m4/3s,in that case,adding a OM to 4/3s adapter onto the m4/3 body is akin to just using the om to 4/3s adapter on a 4/3s body. Used it for a while and never had any problems,just too lazy to focus manually

Can I ask about adaptor? My friend have a canon lenses(18-200 and 50mm for his canon 500D) and I want to use it to my GF1 Camera. Any adaptor to use? if available, How much ist? Thanks so much..

I have just started on my m4/3 journey. I am not sure which canon mount which you are referring to but there are canon fd and canon ef - m 4/3 adapters available here . Do note that you will have to focus the lens manually.

cheers
