After reading and drooling over some of the posts here I decided to pick up my first Alt. lens.
I found an Olympus 28 3.5 at a local shop. Looks like the 2.8 is the better one??
My questions are: What adapter would you recommend? I\'m not sure what, \"chipped\", means??
The 3.5 was the original Oly 28, and though they\'re uncoated and slower, some shooters prefer them to MC 28/2.8s, for landscapes especially.
Chipped adaptors include a small electronics board which allows the camera to \"see\" the lens and hence provide focus confirmation, and often allow particulars about the lens such as focal length to be recorded in the image Exif headers.
