Olympus ED 75-300mm zoom lens

Buying cheap zoom lenses generally leads to disappointment.

 

And you often eventually end up trading the damn thing in for something more expensive, costing even more money in the long run.

But we went ahead and bought this low cost lens anyway.

I've never been able to resist a good body.

 

Especially when the controls feel nice and are easy to access.

Yes, I'm talking cameras once again!

Hacking my Pentax K to M4/3 lens adapter

Lens adapters that allow you to connect different format lenses to camera bodies can be very handy.

But they ideally need to be the correct length to maintain focus range.

I decided to try to hack an adapter that is just 1mm or so too short.
