Will this lens and adapter combo work properly on a Olympus EPM2? Specifically will it focus to infinity?

Yes it will, and it should focus to infinity unless it's defective. In fact, these adapters typically focus a little past infinity, just to ensure that infinity can always be reached despite poor quality control.

The lens will work with Olympus ep1 with the proper adapter. This particular one includes an adapter for sony nex cameras. But I believe similar one available with adapter for micro 4/3rd cameras. See this Fotasy Silver 35MM F1.7 TV Movie Lens + Silver Lens Adapter for MFT M4/3 cameras

Not unless you only want to use it at close distances only. The flange distance is 29mm for the XL1 and 44mm for the EF mount, a 15mm difference. The maximum focal length of the XL1 is 88mm, so the lowest magnification ratio that you could shoot at is 15/88 = 0.17x. And that assumes an adapter of 0 length. So not only would you lose infinity focus, you wouldn't even be able to focus at moderate distances. Even if you wanted to the adapters are pretty bad.

I guess it will. I'm using this on my olympus e3 with a nikon to 4/3 adaptor and it works fine. Just have to get used to manual focusing.

Thanks, what about using the adapter for EF lenses? Would this work or does the adapter only work with original Canon lenses?

The lens is manual focus only. It has "near and far". If you are able to obtain a T-mount to fit your Olympus and the Opteka 650-1300 lens (matching threads) it would fit. You would have to set your Olympus to manual focus and shutter priority. Using a sturdy tripod, experiment with shutter speeds and film speed settings to find a proper exposure. It may also help setting camera on "timer" or using a remote for lessening "shake". I use both eye-level focus

Unfortunately, the focus to infinity is not available: 2.5 - 3 meters (8-10 feet) is maximum.I use this converter with Nikon D5100 and with the specially adjusted, the old Russian lens Jupiter-9.http://cameras.alfredklomp.com/jupiter9/This is a very specific lens.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10202107820475164&set;=a.3021099764648.2131658.1177290511&type;=1

Depends. Are these manual focus lenses like the ones used on the oly film cameras? (also known as Olympus OM lenses). If not, if they are digital, then as long as they are 4/3 lenses, they will work. If you have OM style lenses, you can buy an adapter to mount these lenses. It fairly inexpensive, around $25-$40.

Many thanks for replying. Have just ordered an adapter ( cheaply), as I only wanted the lens to play around with. Lesson learnt ; Hubby cannot buy lenses without me knowing what he's paying out for !!

It does work with my EPM-10. Used it originally on the E-PM1 with about the same degree of success. All electronics pass through and work with Olympus lenses which means you can pull autofocus. You will have to experiment to see what works best. Not the same as a true macro lens but a good start.

You have to know if 50mm equivalent works for you. Also look at 17 and 14mm from Olympus and Panasonic if you need wider field of view. I have the lens you ask about and it's great but focal length you shoot at is first priority. Look at previous pics and see. Also using Amazon I've bought new and used like-new with equal good results but cost a lot less!!!

I have used this adapter to mount an old 1985 version film camera lens (OM 50mm f/1.8) to my NE-5N. It will also work fine on my NEX-7. I don't know if your Olympus E-510 lens has the same mount as the old OM lens. That you will have to research elsewhere as I don't know the answer to that question.

I don't believe it will work. If there is a flange on the back of the lens that extends past the rear element, the adapter will not work. I have Olympus lenses with a short focal length and these all these have the flange. Even the 50mm macro has it so it will not accept the adapter.

That's my understanding. It's not a micro 4/3 lens, but rather the original 4/3 format lens. The adapter lets it connect electronically to the M1 camera and the combined or two types of focusing are now used in the M1 that allows you to use auto focus with it when the adapter is used. I just received an email from Olympus itself saying that its Spring sale of refurbished lenses, etc., were on sale for a week or so. One of the items may have been this adapter. But ask the same question to Olympus.

I use it on an Olympus E-P3 and it works fine. The fit and finish is not as good as my genuine Olympus adapter but that does not matter as I leave the Fotodiox adapter permanently on my OM 50mm f3.5 macro. You will not get image stabilisation on you GF3 so you may need to increase the iso when using OM lenses. Try it, the price is cheap enough.

You need to determine which lens mount is on the lens already. Is it a T-mount thread (42 mm)? Also be aware that the T-mount will NOT support auto exposure or focus functions. You will be working with full manual functions. There may be an adapter for your lens and camera available, but in my experience off-brand equipment for Olympus mounts are limited. Best strategy is to use the B+H or Adorama websites to try to find the item you need, then shop it around fr a better price, if possible. Best of luck.
