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

Here is an OM-4 manual:

Thanks allot, I didn't know this existed

Hi Lucas,

 

The manual is pretty poor on this so I grabbed my OM-4 and tried it. Mine seems to act like yours does, it saves spot meter readings in auto mode but in manual mode the memory function doesn't work. I'd guess then that this is normal! :cool:

 

Super nice cameras, enjoy!

Weird, it seems like that should be a feature but it's not. I guess if I'm in a portrait setting with consistent lighting I'll just spot meter in auto then

Hello, I just got a new olympus om-4. I do have a question about the spot meter though. In manual mode after I take all my spot metering I can't commit it to memory but I can in automatic mode, is this normal?
