I have older Olymus Zuiko lenses. Does this camera have the ability to use older lenses or do I need to purchase an adaptor ?

I do not know to tell the truth. Contact Olympus I am sure they will tell you

I do not Know the answer to this specific question, but with any lens adapter, you should be aware that the focus may not be able to be adjusted to inifinity due to to the different thickness of the cameras, and that the lens motors and sensors may not have a mechanical or electrical connection to the camera, requiring aperture, focus, and zoom settings to be manually set. Also some cameras have a lens attached sensor that may not recognize the adaptor and will not permit a picture to ne taken.

No. This is an m.zuiko lens. Get the 50mm f2. Or look around for some of the fine legacy offerings in just about any mount and use an adapter.

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 !!

This adapter provides NO electrical connections betwen the camera body and the legacy lens. So there is no mechanism to focus the lens except your fingers :-) This is true for many of the inexpensive adapters, especially the early entries in the field. If you have any more specific questions, write to Fotodiox -- they were very responsive when I had a problem.

I have two Olympus Zuiko lenses one 50mm F1.8 and a second 35 mm wide angle lens. It worked for the 35 mm lens and not with the 50mm F1.8 lens. The difference between the two is that the 50 mm F1.8 lens has a metal stud in the back that prevents it from mating with this adapter. I am sure Amazon will have more comments on it.

Yes you will need a lens mount adapter. But it is worth it, it is a great lens.

Keefe, I bought one and use it on my T4i. I have 3 different Olympus Ed Zuiko lenses. Manual focus and f/stop only though. Works fine.

You'll need to use an adapter to convert to the old Sony/Minolta interface first. I assume that a suitable adapter will work, but have not tried it yet.

I have not used or examined either that camera or that lens, but if the mount is type alpha then should the lens not fit the camera with no adaptor. I have covered the subject of convertors pretty thoroughly an past responses, and the general conclusion is that only an adaptor made or supported by either the lens or camera manufacturer is likely to work properly for most users.

This camera needs DX lenses. While old Nikon lenses will work, they may not have full functionality, such as autofocus or a full frame. Nikon's website should explain this in more detail.

You don't need an adapter for this lens if you use any of the Canon EOS EF or EFS lenses on your camera(s). I bought it and put it right on to my Canon EOS T3i. :)

My experience with adapters so far is the autofocus has not worked. Your camera is totally manual

With adapters, one must be sure the camera is set to "Release without lens". This is found in the settings menu. If that does not work, I have no suggestions.

Hello LauraAnswer for the question is yes, and yes :), even you can use Zenith old russian lenses with adapter that costs probably somwhere 5-10$ . if you have any additional questions I can show you sample photos, contact me on facebook as Vaniko Katamashvili or email me Vanikoooo@yahoo.com

Michael- A seller on EBay (search super takumar lenses) claims that you can, with an adaptor. But I can't verify this and would also like to know.

Yes of course, it is part of the Alpha series. You can use any Alpha lens or other lenses with an adapter. If you want, you can attach the Carl Zeiss lenses made for the Alpha series.
