M to M43 adapter

[gilpen123]

Has anyone here tried to use their M lenses with the OMD? What adapter brand are you using? How hard or easy is it to focus and expose? A sample shot with your chosen adapter will be great.

I'm happily using one from Amazon:

It works great, so far. Exposure is no different from any other manual lens, focus is also quite easy (especially using the magnify function). This one is extremely cheap, Fotodiox also has a "pro" version, for twice the cost (at least by list price).

I use the Fotodiox pro mount for my sony Nex - they work quite well. Maybe not as well made as the $300 novoflex, but more that sufficient for my needs thus far.

Thanks looking at Voigtlander but will check Fotodiox.

I use the Voigtlander adaptor, great quality and no hesitation with recommending their use.

Good luck with your search and decision.

Yes, Voigtlander for me as well.

Decided will order the Voigtlander. I've had several LTN to M and completely satisfied with the quality. Thanks.

😱 Wow, that's $10 more than the price I paid for the Panasonic 14mm/f2.5. Not to mention exactly 10x the price of the adapter that I paid for.

I use the Voigtlander adaptor. Not the least expensive, but very well made.

Yes, $179 may be a bit expensive but don't want to try the cheapo's which might damage my OM mount in the longer term or worst my M lenses.
