Some time ago I was on a company's website that was selling various Four-Thirds adaptors. They had adaptors for Nikon lenses, Canon, various screw-mount lenses and T-mount. Trouble is I didn't bookmark the page and now I have Googled and Googled and can't find it again.
Anyone here know of such a website?? I have the OM to Four Thirds adaptor that Olympus provides but am particularly interested in a T-mount adaptor someday. Thanks, David __________________

Yep.
To be precise, it allows non Four-Thirds lenses to mate to a Four Thirds body. I believe that all of them are in the same vein as the Oly adapter, all lenses so mounted have to be used in full manual mode and will provide no feedback to the body. The same outfit has other adapters for other body mounts, including one that would allow OM mount lenses to be used on an EOS. Tim |

Thanks Tim, that looks like the site. I thought they had T-mount to 4/3 but I guess I was mistaken. I don't know much about T-mounts but I am thinking that they allow you to couple to telescopes and microscopes as well as various special lenses. Is that correct?
I have bookmarked the page and emailed it to my home computer so I'm good to go. This place must surely have come up on several of my searches but I guess they didn't look promising enough to click through. Thanks again, David |

I know I've read of folks doubling up the adapters - 4/3 to OM + OM to T-Mount - with success, but I'd worry about the ability to focus to infinity for anything other than a telescope with gobs of focuser movement.
