Is there a complete list of M-mount and LTM lenses that can be used on a Micro 4/3 body via the respective adaptors? Also where is a good place to get adaptors? Thanks.

hard to get a complete list lah, the cows will come home by then... :bsmilie: just kidding :bsmilie:

LTM lenses go a long way back, some are really rare & hard to find while others probably go much further back than before you or me came into this world! Just to qualify, I'm far from being a collector but among my few lenses, i do have a canon 50/1.2 ltm (1960s), a leica summarit 50/1.5 ltm (1950s) and a russian Jupiter 3 50/1.5 (1960s).... all old but amazing glass!

As for adaptors, the good quality ones can be found at chiff... the cheapo ones (some may or may not do the job properly) can be picked up from the bay cheaply... enjoy and have fun!
