Olympus OM lenses are much sought after not just because they can fit nearly any camera (except Nikon), but they are beautifully made and compact. Nikon dSLRs with their long lens mount flange are the LEAST adaptable , and really you are almost stuck with only using Nikon mount lenses on these cameras. if you want the most fun with legacy lenses, buy a mirrorless camera systems not included in the table below is the new Canon EF-M mount which has a 18mm flange distance and a 58mm diameter mount, adapter is available to allow mounting EF-S and EF lenses the old 8mm D-mount cine lenses (eg. Wollensak) can really only be used on Pentax Q cameras, although they can be used on Micro Four Thirds system via a D-mount to C-mount adapter then a C-mount to M43 adapter, but you cannot gain infinity focus (perhaps maximum focus is about 2 feet), and there will be vignetting. You will have better results with the C-mount lenses. see using cine lenses on Micro Four Thirds cameras full frame mirrorless update: Nikon Z system has 16mm flange distance and AF adapter is now available for Sony FE lenses! this is now THE MOST adaptable camera system available Canon R system has a 20mm flange distance compatibility table Lens mount flange MicroFourThirds Sony NEX Samsung NX Four Thirds Canon EF-S Canon EF Nikon DX Nikon FX crop factor 2x 1.5x 1.6x 2x 1.6x 1.0x 1.5x 1.0x flange distance 20mm 18mm 25.5mm 38.7mm 44mm 44mm 46.5mm 46.5mm Pentax Q 9.2mm N N N N N N N N D-mount 12.29mm N N N N N N N N C-mount 17.5mm N N N N N N N N Sony E 18mm N AF N N N N N N MicroFourThirds 20mm AF N?

The following Leica R lenses are reported to have mirror clearance issues with most if not all adapted EOS cameras: 15/3.5, 16/2.8, 19/2.8 Second Version, 21/4 Mirror Lock Up Version, 35/1.4, 35-70/2.8, 80-200/4.5 First Version. The 24/2.8 and 28-70/3.5-4.5 (2nd version) will not work on the EOS 5D because the rear element protective guard hits the mirror. The 21-35/3.5 Aspherical and 28-90/2.8-4.5 Aspherical is reported not to work on the 1Ds Mk II. the following adapted Contax C/Y lenses are not compatible with the EOS 5D: 18/4, 85/1.2, and 135/2. The Nikkor 20/2.8 AIS and 24/2.8 AIS are reported to be incompatible with the 5D due to the protruding rear element. Nikkor mirror lock up lenses which will not work on Canon EOS include the 6/5.6, 7.5/5.6, and 21/4 Nikkors Y/shift = normal adapters and tilt-shift adapters available O = an adapter with optical elements is available but image quality suffers NOTE: some lenses (most digital lenses) do not have aperture rings and thus aperture may not be able to be adjusted unless special adapters, or, techniques to preset an aperture photo/lenscompatibility.txt · Last modified: 2019/07/08 14:02 by gary1 Page Tools Backlinks Back to top Fold/unfold all Import
