Are you still with the Oly then?

Hi Barrie,
Yes still using my Oly gear though I did have a brief flitation with the Fuji X system last year (kept hold of my core gear though)
Wow you have amassed quite a collection of gear there Barrie, do you still use the K20D?

Yes I still us the K20 occasionally. I have it set up with split screen focus for the manual lenses.
I'm trying the X-Pro1 out, handy for things like the Edinburgh Fringe, when you want to travel light.

Hi Barrie.
i also noticed you have amassed quite a collection of equipment, maybe you should sell me your sigma 150-500
ps. Thanks for the kind comments on the november monthly competition results.

Good to here it's being put to good use

I had an X-E1 and a few primes plus a couple of nice zooms, nice gear but in the end prefered the operational familiarity I have with my E-M5, E-M1 and the extensive range of glass the 4/3rds and m4/3rds stable has as well as pretty much any legacy glass you want to hook up to.
Still I ways have soft spot for Pentax, really like the build and operation but I prefer the lighter weight / compact approach

I drop in sometimes to see what's going on...although I've changed systems, I still have a K5, though the FF Pentax lenses I kept are getting more use on my unmentionable new system (of which they are an invaluable part, me having only two native lenses as opposed to 6 PK ones)

The GR is still used a lot.

Any recommendations as to lens adapter. I have one or two Pentax "A" which I'd like to try out on the 4/3 system, think the articulating viewing screen will be very useful too

SRB Griturn make virtually anything you can imagine, so if there's no marque adapter that you want to buy then they are a good place to start.

I have an articulated screen on my MX-1, and sometimes it is useful, but not very often. I'd prefer a slightly slimmer camera instead,

Hello Stan,

If its a m4/3rds system you have there are a few options via Amazon here

I am one of the lurkers described, often come to the forums and enjoy reading but should probably start joining in more. Anyway, thankyou all for making it an enjoyable forum to lurk.

I'm using Sony e-mount, so can't recommend anything for 4/3rds. I've had a cheap PK/Nex adapter for a few years, which allows four different aperture selections on lenses where you can't set the aperture on the lens, and it works very well on my Sony A7s; I'd initially thought of getting a more expensive adapter, but it's turned out not to be necessary. I did however buy a Voigtlander adapter for using Leica fit lenses on the A7s, and it's quite an impressive device.
