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

Thanks for your help!
 
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.
