Advice on adapter please (Lumix GF1 to Olympus OM lens)

[AndyWest]

Hi

I have (and love) the Panasonic Lumix GF1 and a couple of old but great Olympus Zuiko OM lenses and i would like to purchase an adapter so i can use these lenses on my GF1. The one available from Amazon and various other places is about £190 which is silly money! I have found this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Olympux-OM-lens-adaptor-for-Panasonic-Lumix-DMC-GF1_W0QQitemZ360195631927QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Pho tography_CameraLenses_Lens_caps_hoods_adaptors_ET? hash=item53dd552b37

And it's £50 which is still a lot of money but just about affordable. Trouble is it's from Hong Kong.

Is there another adapter available in the UK that's about £50 or less?

Thanks

Roxsen have them for £30 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Olympus-OM-lens-to-for-Panasonic-GF1-GH1-G1-EP1-Adapter_W0QQitemZ150368151670QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLe ns_Accessories?hash=item2302a3e876) or so. I bought the Canon FD one from them and it works fine :thumbs:

Wahooo! I knew there must have been cheaper out there!! I wonder if they do M42?

Thanks for your help!

I would imagine so, check the $ auctions rather than £ ones though ;)

I have had a look and there are plenty of people who do, a couple from the UK at good prices too!!!

I'm contemplating a Nikon one, but the only lens I have that would work is the 300 f/2.8, which might be a wee bit big on the GF1 :cuckoo:

I think i'll get a M42 one so i can get a nice (and cheap!!) Macro lens.
