Hi All,
Just quick message to let you all know about a well kept secret by Olympus, it concerns a Olympus 4/3rds adaptor which converts the camera to accept old manual focus OM lenses.
If you telephone customer services and enquire about the cost of this adaptor, explaining you recently purchased your E-300 or E-1, they'll send you the adaptor free of charge as long as you send or e-mail them a copy of the warranty card and the sales receipt.
I doubt Olympus will be too happy about everyone doing this, but I know this works as they have just kindly sent me one FOC. These adaptors have been changing hands on eBay for as much as £65, save £££'s and blag one for free.
P.S. Using the 4/3rds adaptor & a T2/OM mount from Jessops (£11.99 Part No: JEST2MOM), you should be able to attach the camera to most scopes, I know Opticron & Kowa both have telephoto adaptors which connect camera to scope via T2 mounts
