Now for something completely different: which camera for getting back into photorgraphy

Jeff wrote: Hi guys, thanks for the feedback. I went and handled the Fuji XT and Olympus O-MD today (with a not very good salesperson who couldn't answer basic questions). Leaning toward the OM-D ( had an OM-1, loved it, sold like an idiot). Vracer111, love you lens collection. How does it work on your OM? Are there adapters for other 35mm lenses that you can use on the OM? I think I need to go down to the main Henry's store in TO and talk to someone there who has a clue.

There are micro 4/3 adapters for Canon, Leica, Nikon, and Pentax glass that I know of... probably more for some other glass as well. There are also 3rd party micro 4/3 lenses...looking to pick up a few Rokinon lenses in the future, probably this one first:

12mm f2

I have OLYMPUS OM adapters for both my 4/3 and micro 4/3 cameras. In the picture, the micro 4/3 adapter is right up front and to the left of the OM-D E-M5 Mark II. You focus and adjust your apertures just like a manual 35mm SLR... I loved shooting on the OM-1N and OM-2N. The geunine Olympus 4/3 adapter I have was free, because back in the E-1 times Olympus actually gave them out if you requested. The micro 4/3 was not free...pretty penny for it, but absolutely perfect fit and function because genuine Olympus part.

I think it's Metabones and Kipon that have both done DSLR lens adapters with autofocus contacts. They are kinda particular about what lenses they want to autofocus with, but that's a step in the right direction.

I think for Fuji and Sony the ability for your customers to use just about any lens with a in-lens-AF-motor is a great step towards winning new customers. It wouldn't surprise me if Nikon and Canon are actively trying to figure out how to prevent this from happening.

Follow up. I played around with a couple of Olympus OVF and borrowed a Fuji for a bit. Bottom line? I like my DSLRs so I bought and open box Pentax K50 kit at Henry's for cheap. Will dump the kit lens once I'm sure I'm keeping it. Don't need any more gear than maybe a 200 or 300 prime for wildlife and sports. Pretty stoked about the decision.

If anyone is interested I'm selling an Pentax *istD DSLR ($100 CAD) and Fuji X10 ($145 CAD) for cheap (Search Kijiji Toronto).

Thanks
