Lens Mount Adapter Pixco Micro Four Thirds (M4/3) to Olympus OM — SB1585

The Pixco Lens Mount Adapter Micro Four Thirds (M4/3) to Olympus OM SB1585 allows photographers to mount legacy Olympus OM lenses on Micro Four Thirds mirrorless camera bodies. This adapter provides a secure mechanical connection between OM lenses and M4/3 mounts, preserving manual aperture control and manual focus operation. It is designed for users who want to use vintage Olympus glass on modern M4/3 cameras for creative, manual shooting and optical character not available in native lenses.

Advantages

The adapter offers robust build quality and a precise fit to ensure stable lens alignment and repeatable mounting. By providing only mechanical coupling, it maintains the original optical characteristics of OM lenses and avoids electronic alterations. The slim profile minimizes added extension, helping maintain close focusing distances and balance on compact mirrorless bodies. The adapter is compatible with a wide range of Olympus OM lenses, enabling creative control over depth of field and manual exposure techniques.

Suitable for

• Photographers who want to use vintage Olympus OM lenses on Micro Four Thirds bodies
• Manual-focus portrait, landscape and still-life photography
• Creative shooters seeking distinct rendering and bokeh from legacy glass
• Videographers who prefer manual aperture and focus control

Key specifications

• Mount conversion: Micro Four Thirds camera body to Olympus OM lens
• Connection type: mechanical only, no electronic contacts
• Material and finish: metal construction with precision-machined surfaces for secure fit
• Profile: low-profile design to reduce added flange distance
• Manual controls retained: full manual aperture and focus operation

How to use

Attach the adapter to your Micro Four Thirds camera by aligning the mount indicators and rotating until it locks into place. Mount an Olympus OM lens onto the adapter using the lens’s normal mounting procedure; ensure it locks securely. Set your camera to manual or aperture-priority modes and use manual focus and aperture settings on the lens. Because the adapter provides no electronic communication, set the camera’s exposure metering and focus aids according to your shooting preferences and check image preview or histogram to confirm exposure.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use lenses that are known to perform well at larger apertures if you need shallow depth of field, and stop down when higher resolution across the frame is required. Enable focus peaking or magnified live view on the Micro Four Thirds camera to assist with precise manual focusing. Store the adapter in a dry place and keep mount surfaces clean to ensure consistent mechanical fit.
