... via adapter and RF coupled? i like my zuiko 50/1.8 a bunch. it would be neatorrific to fit one to my r2m ...

Sure, Novoflex should have one; I think some Far East companies too for much lower costs. To couple it to the rangefinder cam is not possible though.

Best thing -no concern- try to use the wide OM's with zone focusing..

sure, there are adapters, just not rangefinder coupled, but in general, it can be done, i would love to used my OM superwides an an M9.. (main reason for my M9 lust.. but the thing is soooo expensive..)

I can try, Paul, if you get me donor lens and adapter (for example 150807052567 @ ebay). Always wanted to. Similar to what I did with the 50/1.4 Takumar:

The Zuiko 50/1.4 might be more interesting since the Canon 50/1.8 LTM is quite affordable, but there is really no alternative to a close focusing, less than thousands of dollar 50/1.4.

Also, the head bartender used to sell "double focus" adapters that allowed to focus correctly. Have one of those as well.

wow, roland. thanks for the offer. since you already have done a k-mount 50, i might pick up one of those instead. let me do some perusing. and thanks for the adapter heads-up ...
