Absolutely, several of us. Discussion and posted examples in the
archives. No difference using third party OM mount and Zuiko lenses on
EOS. The macro images here are with a lowly old D60 and a Kiron 105/2.8.
These were tests I did with a borrowed camera to see how well OM mount
lenses worked on EOS digital before buying a 300D
You need to buy an adapter and be happy doing stop down metering. Not
much good for soccer matches, but no problem at all for many subjects.
Adapters are available from CameraQuest in Calif for $175
<http://www.cameraquest.com/adaptnew.htm#Canon%20EOS%20SLR%20%20Body>,
or from Martin Cheung in Hong Kong for $110, including shipping
<martinsmcheung@xxxxxxxxxxxx>. Martin's is less professionally made than
the Kindai brand at CameraQuest, but Chuck says it looks and works
great. There is an aluminum one being sold out of Europe (Eastern?) that
isn't as highly regarded and another that doesn't stop down, so is
pretty useless. I'd stick with the first two mentioned.
