Novoflex Micro FourThirds Adapters
Novoflex, a German manufacturer of high-quality accessories, has announced the availability of a new range of adapters that allow photographers to mount a multitude of older lenses on Micro FourThirds cameras, such as the Panasonic G1 / GH1 and the Olympus PEN E-P1. Adapters are available for the following lenses: Canon FD, Contax/Yashica, Leica M, Leica R, M42, Minolta MD / MC, Minolta (Sony) A, Nikon F, Olympus OM, Pentax K and T2. The adapters for Minolta (Sony) A, Nikon F and Pentax K mount lenses provide aperture control even for those lenses that do not have an aperture ring. These adapters are therefore more expensive (costing €169) than the others (priced between €89 and €149). All adapters allow infinity focus and stop-down TTL exposure metering. According to Cameratown, the new MicroFourThirds adapters are available now from HP Marketing Corp. dealers in the USA.

Interesting. Their OM adaptor is cheaper than Olympus' own OM adaptor.

I find this very interesting. I have a minolta adapter that allowed me to use screw mount lenses in step down mode on my SRT-101 which used MD lenses. Theoretically, I could use that adapter on the MD adapter here. I also have a Minolta adapter that alloed me to use some form of bayonet mount that allowed me to use zeiss and other foreign lenses as well that fit onto the Minolta bayonet mount of the SRT-101. The funny thing is that I really was never impressed with the pics I got on film and slides with the lenses that I used but I wonder how they would do on these new digital cameras.

Hi Do you produce an adapter to mount an A/F Olympus 4/3 lens to the Sony Alpha 900 Camera?
Many Thanks
Ian
