This is the Olympus OM-System Zuiko 28/2.0 silver nose model lens. | |
![]() |
It has three screws at the bayonet base, we have to remove them. |
![]() |
But we cannot just lift the bayonet as usual, there is a special shaped lever than impedes it. We have to remove the black shroud too, so first, remove its three screws. |

We have to remove first the black shroud... |
![]() |
..and now the bayonet. |
From the provided spring, we have to make a double hook like this. It makes 18mm of length. |
|
![]() |
And now unscrew a bit this one. |
The screwdriver shows where is the screw.. |
|
![]() | Now pass one of the hooks under the screw head, and tighten it , not too much. 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. |
![]() | With the other hook, hold the aperture lever to its left position, so the iris will close. (provided the aperture ring has a close position) |
![]() | closer image |
![]() | So we can install the Leitax mount and the Zuiko lens is ready to shoot on a modern digital camera. |
