Correct Adapter for an Olympus OM-D Camera

Hi,


I have a CPC1100, and an existing t-adapter (93633-A) for my old Canon camera. I have bought an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark II camera, and want to attach it to my scope.


I have done some basic google searching, but have not been able to narrow down exactly what I need. Can anyone assist? Can I still use the existing T-Adapter, or do I need a different one?


My searching keeps throwing up this link:

Cheers everyone

You scope has a standard 2" backend. In that you can put a M48 to micro-four-thirds adapter such as

There are many others that have a 2" tube with a 48mm thread at one end, and M4/3 bayonet at the other.

I have a GX85 and OM-5 body, and I do have the M4/3 to 2" adapter which I tried a few times - but i don't use it as I have an ASI533MC Pro which is a far better solution.

Note carefully: the adapter has the same M4/3 bayonet on the back to fit your camera body as the lens does. Not a Canon one.

Note 2. The ones with knurled ring will not fit inside a 2" focuser.
