Message: <blockquote data-quote="Neil" data-source="post: 1221359" data-attributes="member: 1568">I picked up the adapters for the E-420 yesterday that will allow me to connect the older OM lenses and non G Nikon lenses .  Also a T thread/olympus mount for the Swarovski TLS eyepiece adapter.As I have some legacy Nikon lenses here ( my OM lenses are down in Sydney ) so I had a play around with a 20/2.8 D and the 105/2.8 Macro.  The 20 mm will almost give an unvignetted view on the 4/3 sensor so I would expect a 28 mm or more would be no trouble.  And surprisingly the 105 mm fits nicely over eyepiece due to it's recessed lens and I didn't have to worry about connections.The only issue with this lens is the high magnification but it's one of Nikons best lenses . Even on the 20 eyepiece it gives 4200 mm or 84x magnification.  I would think the 85 mm Macro lens or the 60 mm would be about the right length.You can set the camera to Aperture priority and fire away after setting the lens to it's widest aperture.Neil.Hon Kong,China.June 2008</blockquote>
