OM Zuiko, Canon EOS and modern AF lenses.

[fast_primes]

The following Canon EOS thread discusses Sigma wide angle AF lenses as

alternatives to Canon's own EOS brands and the use of Olympus Zuiko

lenses on Canon cameras, including DLSRs.<p>

">here</a> for thread.<p>

 

The two noteworthy points are:<p>

 

1 - An adaptor exists that allows use of OM mount

lenses in stop down mode on Canon EOS slrs.<p>

 

2 - The HUGE size of the Sigma AF wide angles as

compared to Olympus lenses of the same speed!!!

Hi Fast,

<p>

This has been covered on this forum <a href="/bboard/q-and-a-fetch-msg?msg_id=005v7q"><b>previously</b></a>. I hope this helps you if you are considering the hybrid system of OM/EOS. I can say from personal experience that it works great! I don't own any Canon lenses so far, but still shoot quite frequently with my 10D - a wonderful camera indeed :-)

Yup. Some Zuikolists are using such a mount adaptor to attach their Zuikoes to the digital EOS, which are not full size format though, and evaluate the lens performance.

I also use a mount adaptor to attach my Zuikoes to the film EOS.
