Update: I ordered an optical adapter. No idea how that'll work, so I'm going to try it on my Olympus before sending it off to the first person.

I'll see what I can do. The USPS website says I can ship it as first class mail for a reasonable price, but it won't give a clear answer to the weight limit. It says 13 ounces in some places, 4 pounds in others. If I can ship it that way, I'll send it to you first. If not, it'll cost like $30, which is more than I'd like to pay, and I really don't want to ask anyone else to pay that much.

As soon as all the adapters arrive. I'm still waiting on the minolta and Nikon ones.


I looked at some samples of one of those optical Nikon adapters, and I'm really not sure. It seems that some adapters are good, some are bad. If the one I got doesn't give decent results, I'll throw in a vivitar XC-3.

Update: I got the Nikon optical adapter today. It does focus to infinity (actually a tiny bit past it) but the picture quality is degraded more than I'd like.


Mechanical adapter, lens wide open:

Optical adapter, lens wide open:

The color shift is fairly significant, and the sharpness is somewhat reduced. It also causes the fov to be slightly reduced.


It also has some serious reflections:

Since most of the people in this thread seem to be Nikon users, I'll throw in a Vivitar XC-3 and a couple rolls of film I have lying around. It ought to make things more interesting anyway. I'll post instructions on how to use the camera in the main thread when I send it off (still waiting on the Minolta/Sony adapter).

Pretty easy to see that horrible color shift with that rainbow background, kinda sucks.
