Olympus OM System - Lenses

Lenses

The OM Series lenses have the aperture control located on the lens barrel on the opposite side of the focusing ring from the mount. This was done to move it away from the shutter speed control, which is a ring on the camera body immediately behind the lens mount. They also feature a depth of field preview button on the lens itself, as opposed to most other SLR camera systems in which the button is placed on the camera body.

The OM lens is designed to sit 46 mm (as measured from the front of the aluminium ring on which the serial number is stamped) from the film onto which it projects, further away than many other lens systems. The combination of on-lens aperture control and this extra distance make OM lenses adaptable with full (manual) functionality to a variety of other camera systems – including the ubiquitous Canon EOS line – by using a specialized adapter.

Famous quotes containing the word lenses:

    “Life is a train of moods like a string of beads, and, as we pass through them, they prove to be many-colored lenses which paint the world their own hue, and each shows only what lies in its focus.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
