Congrats! You will love it! Mine is black and has some scars. The brass is showing but she is still a beauty! Olympus please make a DMR that fits the OM!!
You have some nice glass there.

Thanks Anden, its all largely thanks to you guys here
I've learned to appreciate those little zuikos by using them on my 5D and I simply cant look back. But I've started developing again lately, so I thought I might as well grab a film body and use them as they were intented
My 35/2.8 MC shift is currently for sale on eBay, but after taking this photo today I'm having second thoughts

I sold my 35 shift and I miss it...

Most of my alt gear is Oly. If you are into macro you should try the 65-116 tube and the 80/4 for a start. I have had all four, 20/2, 38/2.8, 80/4 and 135/4.5. I sold the 20 to fund the 18/3.5.

What a fantastic thread! And the lenses!! Amazing!

OK, allow me to show some of mine...

Here are some German lenses:


Leica Elmarit-R 2.8/35


Leica Summicron-R 2.0/50


Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 4/20 (Zebra)


Carl Zeiss Tessar 2.8/50


Carl Zeiss Jena Sonnar 4/135 1Q (Model: Jena S 4/135)


Meyer-Optik Görlitz Primoplan 1.9/58 V

And here is a special one, Japanese and much better than you might expect:

Tokina AT-X 2.8/24-40

All photos were shot with this lens @f1.4 on an EOS 350D:

Nikkor-S.C 1.2/55

(Just the last one of course was shot with the 'Cron 50.)

Some more (Japanese and Russian) will follow as soon as I find the time...

Nice series, Lucis! I'm interested to see the top side of that CZ Tessar. Contarex mount is it?

I went to a friend's studio to take this one for my site:

Perhaps not fully "alternative", but since most people only use AF lenses...

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Makten/DSC_1845_2.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v621/Makten/d700_35.jpg

From left to right in the first pic: Nikkor 200/4 AI, Nikkor 105/1.8 AIS, Nikkor-S 55/1.2, Nikkor 35/1.4 AIS.
The 55 is sold and replaced with an AF-S 50/1.4. I've also bought a 28/2.8 AIS, but have no pics of it.

This is why I sometimes go with only one prime. Two stops faster and less than half the weight.

OK, here are some more of mine...

First some nice "Russians".

Peleng 3.5/8 Fisheye:



Zenitar 2.8/16 Fisheye:



MIR-38b 3.5/65:



Volna-3 MC 2.8/80:



And then some of my Zuikos.

Olympus Zuiko 3.5/28:

This little lens is a "hidden gem". It's too slow to be of interest for most users, but it's such a good lens!


Olympus Zuiko 1.4/50:

The lens hood is not original (it's an Asahi hood), but it works like a charm, much better than the original one.


And finally another surprising lens: Mamiya Sekor 1.8/55

Much better than you might expect from a rather affordable M42...
