Minolta manual lens on E-300 Olympus - 11-12-2011, 10:20 PM


I was recently given a Olympus E-300 with 14-45mm.

Since I have several manual Minolta Rokkor lens I would like to use them on this camera. I have been told there is an adapter to mount these lens but was wondering if you maintain infinity focus with this adapter?

There are adapters for the mirrorless Olys that work very well. I am not sure I have seen a good one fo rthe SLR bodies. Most have glass in them that act as a 2x teleconverter and degrade image quality.

Most 4/3 adapters don't have glass, given that the register is sub-40mm.
