Where's Moose? He should be here saying that you can indeed use your OM
glass on a Canon. I know too. I strapped my new OM-EOS adapter on a
friend's Canon D60 today and tried out the Zuiko 50/1.4, 85/2, 85-250/5
and Kiron 70-150/4 to see how easily I could focus. I was very
surprised to find that I had no difficulty focusing the 85-250/5 in
subdued daylight in a large room.
Over on the 20D list someone is complaining about exposure measurement
errors while trying to use his Leica lenses on a 20D. It doesn't
measure properly within a couple stops of wide open on the lens. Since
Olympus restricts the apertures of OM Zuikos on the E-1 and Moose has
found exposure measurement problems on his 300D with Zuikos it sounds
like this may be a fairly universal problem with manual lenses on the
newer autofocus machines.
