Pixco adapter Micro 4/3 (MFT) to Olympus Four Thirds lens mount adapter SB2003

Pixco adapter Micro 4/3 (MFT) to Olympus Four Thirds lens mount adapter SB2003 is a mechanical mounting solution that enables the use of Olympus Four Thirds (4/3) lenses on Micro Four Thirds (MFT) camera bodies. The adapter does not transmit electronic signals, so aperture and focusing are handled directly on the lens. It is designed to preserve correct flange distance for infinity focus and to allow photographers to mount a wide range of Four Thirds optics on modern MFT bodies for manual operation and controlled focal length adaptation.

Advantages

The adapter provides a secure mechanical connection between Four Thirds lenses and MFT cameras while maintaining correct optical registration for accurate focus to infinity. Its all-mechanical design ensures broad compatibility with manual aperture and focus control on legacy lenses. The construction is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry and quick to attach or remove without affecting camera balance significantly.

Suitable for

• Photographers who want to use legacy Olympus Four Thirds lenses on Micro Four Thirds bodies
• Manual-focus shooting, including portrait, landscape and street photography
• Adapting specialty optics for creative focal length and rendering effects
• Budget-conscious users repurposing existing Four Thirds glass

Key specifications

• Mount conversion: Olympus Four Thirds (lens) to Micro Four Thirds (camera)
• Connection type: mechanical, no electronic contacts
• Focus control: manual via lens focusing ring
• Aperture control: manual iris control on lens (no camera-controlled aperture)
• Optical compatibility: maintains correct flange focal distance for infinity focus with compatible lenses
• Construction: metal and alloy components for durable mount interface

How to use

Attach the adapter to the Four Thirds lens by aligning the lens release marks and rotating until it locks into place. Then align the adapter with the Micro Four Thirds camera mount and rotate to secure the assembly. Set the camera to appropriate exposure mode that supports shooting with non-electronic lenses (for example aperture-priority or manual exposure) and use manual focus on the lens to achieve sharpness. Metering and EXIF recording of aperture may not be available depending on camera model; adjust exposure based on camera metering or external light meter as needed.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter in situations where manual focus and manual aperture control are acceptable. Check lens rear element clearance and keep contacts free of dust. When possible, use a tripod for precision focusing and enable focus magnification or peaking on the camera to assist manual focus. Store the adapter and any mounted lens with caps when not in use to protect mounting surfaces.
