old olympus lens

Hi All I have been a member for a while now but have watched and remained silent mainly because I had a Samsung gx1s but last week I bought a K10d from those very nice guys at SRS (LOVE IT).

Now to the question I have a number of old olympus om lens does anybody know of an adaper that will allow the use of these lenses with my Pentax?

If not I would welcome suggestions how I would get the best price for them.

I am fairly sure old Olympus lenses cannot be fitted to Pentax K via an adaptor and retain infinity focus. Selling on ebay is you best bet although SRS will buy them too.

Although Olympus won't fetch the same dizzy prices that Pentax often do, you would still do quite well on eBay.

If you are lucky enough to have any of the more unusual and desireable lenses, then you could do extremely well.

No adapter to the best of my knowledge though. To make absolutely sure though contact SRB Griturn who make all adapters known to Man, and probably a few that aren't.

It can be done, but probably not worth it. Some info on Pentax Forums USA and here

It might be better to post what lenses you have so we can tell you if they would be better sold.

I've still got two 50mm f/1.8's one with a sticky iris. Worth about £25 for the good one.

One 50mm f/1.4 worth about £75
Lens Hood metal maybe £30

135mm f/3.5 probably £30
28mm f/3.5 No idea maybe £40

Oly macros can be worth quite a bit.

Olympus actually made a camera and lenses that used the Pentax 42mm thread in 1971 the FTL one on ebay here with the 50mm f/1.4

Thanks for the input guys I have got the 50mm 1.4 and the 135mm 3.5 also a loverly tokina 35-200 3.5-4.5 macro

All 3 are loverly lenses that I paid good money for back in the day It breaks my heart that they are now worth so little. At the time I thought I was the smart one and all the Nikon buyers were sheep but no Olympus I feel got it wrong in terms of lens mounts when the world went digital .

I also bought betamax lol
