spare bits

 I did some small-time shopping today and picked up some spare parts.

Two adapters for micro-43, one for SA lenses and one for Maxxum. The SA does not appear to allow for aperture control, so its value might not be worth much; on the other hand, it didn't cost much! The mAF adapter also doesn't have much value, especially since I have only one Maxxum lens - but again, really cheap and it's the 100-200 f/4.5 lens. 

What makes that one worthy of interest? Well it's essentially the same size and weight as the Lumix 14-140 but faster at f/4.5 all the way through the range! (The adapter adds bulk, but it's still pretty small.) On days where the 70-300 4Thirds lens is a bit much, this little thing could be fun. It's not stabilized.. but that's also true of the 70-300.

L:14-140 and 100-200, (adapter below). -- R: 100-200 and Zuiko Digital 70-300.
