I have used the film camera lenses on E-series Cameras. (E-500,E-300 and E-1) and with success too. They are OM Zuiko and not Nikon and some work better then other.
The limitation is that you have to shoot all manual as there is no communication between lens and cameras. Also some OM lenses that I shoot are at set F stop so enough light is necessary to use them.
This shot was taken with a OM 500mm reflex f/8 (possibly had the 1.4 converter on too but don't remember for sure).
Good luck with your experiment and I hope to see good results. |
