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!

Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don't have time for all that shit.
