lucassmith Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 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 http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/attachments/36-sold-items/49683d1261019796-sale-sold-tokina-80-200mm-f2-8-sd-x-quot-pk-quot-w-caps-case-box-k20d9068.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Gammill Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rick_drawbridge Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 There's an interesting comparison between the Tokina 80-210 f/2.8 and the Tamron SP Adaptall-2 80-210 f/2.8 here: http://www.adaptall-2.com/lenses/30A.htm I've been hankering after the Tamron for some time, but they're somewhat rare and expensive.
