This is the Olympus OM-System Zuiko 21/3.5 lens. | |
It has three screws at the bayonet base, let's remove them. | |
And just lift the mount. | |
Now make a spring like this one from a piece of 3.50mm | |
We have to unscrew this screw just the necessary to pass the spring under it. | |
This way, here I've used a tweezers and the plastic tool. | |
Now, with the hook, pass the other side around this aperture lever. Again, the plastic tool was useful to keep the aperture lever on position. |
|
Ready, it is important to check if the iris close until the smaller position, if not, it means the spring too long. It is a good idea to drop a small quantity of nail varnish on that screw, so it will not get loose. Please let the varnish dry completely before mounting the lens on the camera: the smell must disappear. |
|
I've painted the white metal screws with my flat black marker from Micro-tools. | |
All the screws are black now. | |
Now install the Leitax mount using the provided screws, the orange line goes in front the scale center. | |
And you can use this Zuiko lens on any Nikon F-mount or Pentax camera. | |
