My pleasure!
Have fun!

Spent the day helping out on a shoot last tuesday - lady there was using a Nikon D700 with Nikon MF lenses - i know its not an ideal comparison but the results on the back of the camera seemed to have much more about them than equivalents with the modern zooms......

in days of yore I used to have an Olympus OM10 - if memory serves the OM lens range was large and well thought of.... for 20 notes it has to be worth seeing what happens when mated to an EOS :D.
Enjoy

My adapter has just arrived, and although the camera meters fine at the largest aperture, it very badly over exposes the smaller the aperture (using Av and M mode). It's an EOS 450d by the way, and I don't seem to have any choice but to use the lenses in stop-down mode...
