Hi this is my lens. It is an old olympus zuiko http://www.mir.com.m...mls/65200mm.htm

It has all the specs on that webpage.

Does anyone know of any D-slrs that would let me fit this lens in it ? i know it would have to be manual focusing and stuff but still, i dont want to just chuck out the lens. Would it fit in all Olympus D-slrs ? Are there any other makes it could fit in ? Thank you

My budget is between £300 - £1000 but preferable no more than £600. If anyone has any ideas though, please give a range of cameras ( as in a range of different prices, even if it goes more than £600. But no more than £1000 really)

The canon eos body will accept most adapters for film camera lenses. They work will if you are willing to give up AF. Ebay lists a large number of adapters and I'm sure zuikos are among them. I have just started getting into the "manual focus" world and I've found there is a whole cult. Many of them are pros.
