Gaudi by night - zuiko 2.8/24mm	I was looking for an adapter to use Zuiko's on a Canon Eos. I knew of the existence of the adapter that is obtainable through Tomoko Yamamoto At last I found one! Cheap? No. Uh-uh. Now it has become even easier! You can buy them from Stephen Gandy through his CameraQuest. $175: precision made -- not the same as cheap brand knock offs. (On Ebay - made in China.) And here from Kindai. In Japanese. At last Zuiko on the Eos! (Is this the endspiel? Time and testing will tell.) For lens MTF tests - some Zuiko's - go to Photodo. I also found a nice black nosed 5/200mm at last.
Ever been to The Olympus School? Here it is! Olympus Europe Olympus America Olympus Manuals on the US site. Olympus Japan - wallpapers - olympus camera's icons - history etc . The Olympus Four Thirds site - 4/3 has been designed with the requirements of professional photographers at heart. Hmmm... My e-20 has one really exceptional feature: it has no moving mirror, so it takes pictures virtually soundless. And equally important: it gives me preview on the screen just like on my small Canon Ixus! What now do you think they have altered on the E-1 and the other four/thirds? Right! The mirror is moving! So no preview. Plus: shhss-click-noise! Aarrrgghhh! Oh please, may mr Maitani give them some inspiration. Do I have more complaints? Yes please go back to normal manual focusing instead of this fuzzy fly-by-wire focus ring. January 26th 2006 - Now there is news! If it was inspiration from mr Maitani we will never know. Olympus launched the E-330 with a capability to deliver a live view on the LCD monitor a bit like the e-20. Not the same, because the regular live view will come from a small sensor in the viewfinder that is a complex of mirrors rather than a prism. Some of the inner layout seems to go back to one of Maitani's most beautiful camera's, the Pen-F. (Like its predecessor the Evolt E-300.) The patent for the viewfinder of the Pen F is here. With its weight of 906g (2.0 lb) it is no lightweight nor is it a small camera. And it is ugly. Did Maitani san ever make an ugly camera? - Hmm maybe the Pen EF ;-) Have you ever looked at the wallpapers from Olympus Japan? Get great wallpapers here! Yes the OM's look nice, but the Pens are really great. Olympus specifications, history and sales info - Hans van Veluwen. The Unofficial Olympus OM Sales Information File (AKA "e-SIF"), 362MB! Looking for manuals? Most manuals are slightly hidden under a button on the pages describing the various camera's and lenses. Olympus eSIF was taken down due to "data sharks" causing bandwidth issues. Two mirrors exist but will NOT be linked to since a lot of outgoing Olympus traffic was generated from this webpage too. Buy his CD here! The Olympus Mailing List home Olympus mailing list information and archives. The Olympus FAQs Page - R. Lee Hawkins and Michael Covington - Olympus FAQs and links. How to Buy Used Olympus SLR Equipment FAQ - R. Lee Hawkins.	Use your non digital Zuiko's on your four/thirds. The new adapter? Oh no, it is a 1.4 converter ;-( I wrote then. BUT there IS an adapter! All US owners of an E1 are entitled to one. Just register with Olympus USA. Most amusing: it was the same adapter that was on the marketing picture, but now without the Olympus name. You send Olympus the serial number of your 4/3 camera; place of purchase; fax a copy of the warranty card, and they send it to you for free. Or just call Olympus tech help line and tell them you have some OM lens you want to use with your 4/3 camera. For europe: di.support@olympus-europa.com (I am not sure if Olympus still honors this, as they now seem to have one on sale.)

They recently introduced die-cut baseplates: "Scratch-Pads" to protect your Olympus OM1-4. Nice! Basic shutter job on an OM1 - Robert Ian Axford. This particular body came in with a sticky shutter at 1/8th of a second. The slow speed unit is hidden out of the way underneath the floor of the mirror box. The original m39 Leicas also have their escapements down here and this is just one of the several things that Maitani (and so many others) lifted from the design of those classics. Lavishly documented with pictures; a bit sparse on the theoretics of the job. On lubing: Flooding these mechanisms with solvent full of graphite powder is quite insane and should never be done outside of battle-field conditions. ;-) He also finds a bug in the design of this early OM1 - I think he may be right. Favorite Classics - Henry Taber and Kar Yan Mak maintain a series of instruction and repair manuals here. Replacing the backfoam - John Hermanson of Camtech. (He also sells the foam sealing.)
