Probably almost amounts to an FAQ, but here goes. Have an Olympus 0M30 which must be getting on for 20 years old now, but with 3 good lenses which I'm wondering if I can attach to a digital back, (amazing what you find when you tidy up ready t move house eh?) The lenses are not autofocus which doesn't bother me, but might be an issue for digital work.

So, any ideas if I can buy a body to attach them to?

So the answer is a strong maybe - but the adaptor is quite pricey - Park Cameras offer it at £99.99.

My guess is that there are non-Olympus adaptors around for about the 30 to 50 quid mark - there certainly are for Canon lenses. eBay might be worth a search.
