Whoa! I just found an Evolt 300 body for $185! That can't be legit, can it? I know it's four years old, but

still! Also the same camera with a Zuiko 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 lens for $345. Both are claimed to be new. Does

this make sense?

I noticed the checkout was through Amazon. Any thoughts?

Hello all,

I've been using an Olympus OM system for the last couple of years now. I want to go digital, but funds are

severely limited. I thought of buying an E300 (older digital system, so a little cheaper) body, and using an

adapter for my OM lenses. Web pages and the adapter's online manual tell me I must use stop-down metering. It

sounds simple enough, but can anyone tell me if this is really worth it? How difficult is it, and will it

increase the time it takes me to prepare a shot significantly?

Anyone out there who uses OM lenses on their digital systems? Advice would be much appreciated. I'm a pretty

ordinary photographer, but want to learn more, and frankly, using film is costing too much.

Thanks.

Dear all,

I use an Olympus OM 40. I was wondering in anyone can tell me whether or not

the Adorama 20" Standard Cable Release with Screw Lock will work with this.

I.e. will the screw fit?

Many thanks.

Hello everyone,

I'm going to be in Copenhagen for a few days sometime next month and was

wondering if anyone here knows where I can find a nice 185mm prime (Zuiko,

Vivitar) for my OM-40. Or at least a few good second hand camera stores in the

area. Thanks!
