I've really enjoyed the old lenses. Even the hunt for them is fun. If you live in USA you might check out Rainbow imaging. I've had good luck with their adapters and you can pick up the m43 inside lens caps to go with it for next to nothing.

Thanks. I'll check out Rainbow Imaging.

Can you clarify what you mean by "m43 inside lens caps"? Are you referring to the Olympus Body Cap Lens? I already got the BCL-1580 15mm/f8.

It's a cap to protect the inside of the lens when it's not on the camera. It will fit on the side of the adapter that attaches to the camera and keep it closed up when you have the adapter mounted on the lens. I think they sell a body cap/inside lens cap combo for under a dollar. The ones I got from them had Lumix written on them but they work just fine on my Olympus stuff. Last time I ordered from them they offered free shipping on any order over $15.00 so if you order an adapter you need some odds and ends stuff anyway to get up to $15.

Of course, because the mount of the adapter (attach to camera's end) is a M43 mount and so any M43 lens end cap would do.
