Hi Roger
I have a VERY early one. How do I know - well the box says 'Adaptall - for
Olympus-M' although it has FOR OLYMPUS OM-1 on the rear of the mount. It
also has this strange double ring gear - all the way around on lens side
but only toothed for a third on the inside. There's a small cog on the
outside of the mount which transmits the lens aperture setting from front
to rear gear. It's also very heavy. I've seen this before on an old Minolta
SRT Adaptall mount.
Yeah, sorry - OL Adaptalls just say OL - I got carried away and forgot to
check. :)
That you bidding on the Kiron 28/2? If so, good luck!
