Need a little help

Hi Bill -- John's response is right on. Matching your OM lenses to a digital SLR should be easy, though you won't have auto focus or aperture. I just bought an Olympus 420 and an adapter and am having a ball testing out my old OM lenses. Great stuff.

Thanks Curt -- very nice data.
Has anyone tried parallax measurements of the moon's distance based on events such as a Pleiades occultation?
