Hi
I keep reading about the Olympus Zuiko lenses. especially the 24mm 2.8
Where's the best place to get the adapters for canon, the ones that still show when in focus in viewfinder?
Have any of you guys used these lenses?
Is their any pitfalls i should know about?
Likewise is their any recommendation's on the best lenses?
I mainly take macro shots but I'm hoping to do more landscape pictures this year, but i want to keep my camera bag as light as possible

I have the Olympus 24mm 2.8 and 50mm 1.4 on my 5DII (well,my 5DII which will be sold).....

The Olympus 24mm 2.8 is an absolute gem. According to some reviews its better than the Canon L equivalent and Nikon equivalents until F8. It may be the sharpest lens I've used.... not that I've used anywhere near as many as some people on here....

Adaptors can be had pretty cheaply, I have 2 but one is a bit tricky to get on and off the camera.

The 24mm 2.8 is quite expensive as its highly regarded - I've read to avoid the 28mm 2.8, and 35mm lenses as they aren't so good on FF, but the 28mm 3.5 is also a good performer.

The 21mm lens is supposed to be amazing but they always seem to be overpriced.
 
Zeiss Distagon is available in 21mm to fit Canon EOS and is supposed to be a cracking lens. Don' know how the price compares to the Olympus.
 
Thank you to you all for your advice :thumbs:

I will definitely get the 24mm and hopefully, if funds allow the 21mm

Now to find good copies

How did you find out which zuiko lenses will fit?

I'm looking specifically at their 12mm lens if that will produce a full frame when mounted on a 5d ii...
