I have been given the following ( actually I just recieved a message that I would)
MACRO - SER VII - 49mmJessop semi fish eye attachment lens 0.42 X -
- OLYMPUS - Sun auto 2X converter- VIVITAR 17-28mm f/4-4.5 - wide angle zoom lens
- MACRO CLUBMAN MC auto 1:2.8 - 24mm
- BELL&HOWELL - 1:4-5 - 70-210mm Macro 52 (diameter?)
- OLYMPUS OM-SYSTEM S Zuiko auto zoom 35-70mm 1:4
and an OM2 body.
I have googled the lenses but im at a loss for most.
Are any of the lenses of compatible to be used with a 350D or 40D and if so how do I soursce the couplings?
Are any of them worth the effort?
can I find couplings that can adapt a DSLR lense to an olympus body?
Interested in hearing what you think.
regards Sam

As far as which ones to expect decent results from, I suspect that the Olympus Zuiko 35-70mm, f4 is pretty good, but not probably worth the effort of manual focus and manual aperture.
