No, it wasn't your English. It was clear and I understood what you were
looking for. It was a combination of a difference in opinion of the proper
terminology between me and Pittsburgh Camera Exchange and my not looking at
the picture closely. To me, C mount to OM mount conjures up the notion of
putting a C mount lens on an OM camera, not the other way around. If I had
looked at the picture, I think I might have figured out I had it backwards
-- or they did.
Good luck anyway.
