Tokina 80-200 f/2.8 mount change


Recommended Posts

I use olympus film cameras allot and was looking for a constant aperture fast telephoto lens and I finnaly found it! The only thing is is that this lens is very rare in the olympus OM mount and very hard to find, so I was wondering if there was any way to change the lens mount from an existing lens to a OM mount

 

Edit: I am referring to the old manual focus version

Likely not. The linkage for aperture setting and auto diaphragm vary with lens mount. Even if another mount could be fitted it might not work as it should. It might not reach infinity focus. If you really like the lens it might be more practical to pick up a used camera body that it would work with.

True interchangeable lens mounts are available from Tamron on the used market. These lenses are designed to have chnageable mounts. Unfortunately, a lens similar in specs to the Tokina might be expensive.
