Olympus OM system lenses are easily adapted to Olympus and Panasonic FourThirds, Olympus and Panasonic Micro-FourThirds, Sony NEX, and Canon EOS lens mounts. They work well on everything from FourThirds format to "full frame". The Olympus Pen F system lenses from the 1960s were mostly single coated, but OM System (first introduced in the 1972-1973 time period) were almost all multicoated optics like most SLR lenses post 1970 or so. Some of the OM lenses are highly sought after and carry big price tags even today, like the 21mm f/2. I had a kit of Olympus OM equipment for a period of time circa 1975 to 1977. Olympus lenses were always very high quality and the OM-1n and OM-2 were very compact and nicely made. -- Godfrey godfreydigiorgi.posterous.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
