Hello DSLR Forum Members:
I am considering a DSLR for piggyback work. I am currently imaging with a ST237A using Zuiko SLR lenses. Its lots of fun, but I am limited to a FOV of 4-5 degrees. My research indicates that a Canon XT would probably be the best choice. But, can anyone tell me if OM-1 era Zuikos (50mm. 135mm, 200 mm) can be used with an adapter? And, where can I get an adapter that doesn't cost more than the lenses? (I have seen one adapter for $175, ouch!)
The alternative is to use my Super Takumars (circa late 1960s). I have several of these as well, ranging from 28mm to 200mm). Anyone had any experience with these lenses and the inexpensive Adorama adapter?
Any help would be appreciated.
Happy Holidays,
Ed Wiley
