    All your posts are really a big help.
    I got another tricky question for you.

    Which adaptors would you suggest for the following lenses. I just found them very cheap here in Mexico. And do you think that they are worth buying it? I am looking for some adaptors which are good but quite cheap. I believe in the words of Uli.

    Here they are:
    Canon FD, 50mm, 1,4
    Canon FD, 28-70, 3,5 (is it posible to use that zoom?)
    Nikkor, 24mm, 2,8
    MC/MD Rokkor, PF, 85mm, 1,7

    I never found the Cicero7 Adaptor you mentioned. Does it really exist?

    Hey !

    I’ve just bought the AG-AF101 and have found a used 50mm Minolta MD-Rokkor 1.7 to put on it with a MD to 4/3micro mount adapter. So, good for me… BUT ; finally it seems that, despite of the mount adapter, the lens is not compatible with my camera… I hope no, but when I mount both of the lens and adapter and start the camera, I get no picture, eiter on LCD viewer, niether in the viewfinder…

    So what you think, should I sell the lens back with the ring ; thash it coz it’s broken ???

    Thanks for feedbacks !

    Tom.

    Hi Tommy, I remember trying a few lenses at Henrys last year and there was an internal setting on the camera I had to change before it would recognize certain lenses. I think it was in “other Functions-Lens Check”
    Hope that helps,
    Matt

    Hey Matt !

    Thanks a lot for this answer. Actually I found out this fonction ; indeed it was “lens check”.

    Tommy.
