manual lenses on a modern camera

My birthday gift (to self) was a pair of adapters for my Olympus camera body. I’ve got one apiece for my old Minolta A-mount (manual) and Pentax K-mount gear. They work beautifully, in fact the K adapter allows the lenses to work better than they do on my actual Pentax DSLR – instead of a double diaphragm actuations with each frame shot, the diaphragm is stopped down all the time. Woohoo!
