Olympus OM lenses
Revision as of 15:15, 18 September 2005 by Rebollo fr (talk | contribs)
With the introduction of the Olympus OM system, a new range of lenses was designed by Olympus. All the lenses can mount on all the bodies. The only restriction is that the few autofocus lenses for the OM-707 / OM-77 and OM-101 / OM-88 bodies, those lenses do not have a manual focusing ring and are useless on the other bodies.
The bayonet mount has a very large diameter, and all the lenses are very compact compared to other brands at the time.
