Help/Thoughts on camera setup

#1 Post by Antartica » Thu Apr 16, 2020 5:40 am

Could anyone suggest an OM/EOS lens adapter?

I am trying to put together a camera system for my Olympus BH2 so I can take high quality photographs and record videos. I have been reading this: http://www.alanwood.net/photography/oly ... tml#finder and it's been helpful, but I still have a few questions.

My current equipment is:
Om mount adapter L.
Olympus Super Wide Trinocular head
Olympus SWHK eyepieces
Olympus NFK 2.5x
Will likely purchase Canon EOS 5D Mark II.

I just need an OM/EOS lens adapter. Could anyone provide some ebay or amazon links of correct adapters for om mount adapter L to Canon EOS 5D Mark II? Also, any other thoughts on my current potential setup? Is it decent, and will it provide high quality images and videos?

Any inputs or help?

If anyone has this camera and similar setup, I'd appreciate if you could share your thoughts/experiences. I just want to make sure that I'll be able to view the live feed on my computer and be able to record good quality images/video. Don't know what om/eos lens adapter to get :roll:

Hey, sorry I forgot to respond to your PM about this, but fortunately the answer is simple.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Olympus-OM-Len ... 2412425460 this one works just fine.
You have all the right hardware. The 2.5x projects an image that's well-sized for full frame so a 5d mark II should be perfect for it. It should deliver the best possible images with your scope.
