Lens mount adaptor

[digiman]

Has anyone got any experience of lens adapters? I am specifically looking for an Olympus OM to EOS EF mount. I know there are greatly varying qualities, and some have AF confirm and some don't. Any input welcomed,

Cheers,

i have a couple of manual pentax thread lenses 135mm f2.8 and a helios 55mm f.2 creamy bokah lens .i use a focus confirm adaptor with both with no problem ,the camera has to be set to manual mode and just adjust via your meter .but it works i posted one the other week from the 135 lens in the flowers section.
found it here you go

plenty of adaptors on e/bay the focus confirm ones seem to work better though

Nice one Jeff. Looks like a winning combo. Was it a cheaper ebay one you bought or a more expensive option. I've seen a huge veriety with prices from 6 to over 200 quid!

Just a cheap e.bay one ,no point paying loads they don't really do anything ,just get one with the focus confirm chip ,they seem to fit better and sometimes the focus light works to LOL
