Olympus om lense on bessa r. is it possible?

[Gaspar]

I have quite a good collection of Zuikos om and just got the bessa r. I hear there is an adaptor from novoflex bu I can't find any opinion on th effectiveness of using this.
Does anybody have experiece of fitting zuikos on the bessa r .

The adapter is called OMLEI, you'll find it when you google
for Novoflex OMLEI.

The adapter is not rangefinder coupled, which means it's much
easier to use wide angle lenses. It should cost around US 100-150.

Roland.

There are two part #s: LEIOM as well as OMLEI... http://www.mainlinephoto.com.au/novoflexprices.pdf

...I'm not sure of the difference, but I think one (the more expensive) is rangefinder coupled.

Earl, one of it is LTM lens to OM camera (no infinity focus - Novoflex bellows also use M39)
and one OM lens to LTM camera. Both are non coupled.

The only coupled Leica OM adapters that I know of are the ones Stephen used to sell.
But they were M mount only (on the camera end).

Best,

Roland.

Thanks, Roland. I was under the impression that the RF-coupled adapters from Stephen were of Novoflex origin. But that was an assumption, I guess.

I find the list I cited a bit confusing.
