Using Old Lens on Olympus or Panasonic Micro 4/3 Cameras

An adapter can be used to mount the old Olympus film camera lens (i.e. OM Zuiko lens) or other brand to a micro 4/3 digital camera body. This kind of adapters are available in eBay for around US$10 or up. Since the micro 4/3 camera has a factor of 2, the legacy lens mounted on it double the focal length of the legacy lens. Adapting larger format legacy lens to smaller format sensors (i.e 35mm to micro 4/3) provides excellent edge-to-edge sharpness. The smaller image field helps minimize the effects of lens distortion and aberration by using the 'sweet spot' or center of the larger lens image circle.
