What type of lens will fit my Olympus E410?


If I was to get this lens adaptor for my E410 could I get some Nikon lens? Would this allow me to fit different types of lens?
What lens fit The E410 without an adaptor?

This is the adaptor I am talking about.

Would this be something worth getting?

Hi snowflake311,

Any Four-Thirds lens can be mounted onto the E-410 without an adapter. Olympus, Panasonic/Leica, and Sigma are currently the only manufacturers making lenses for 4/3. The 4/3 standard was completely built from the ground up for digital photography so legacy lenses will not fit without the use of an adapter.

An almost-complete list of all Four-Thirds lenses can be found here:

The Nikon to 4/3 adapter you're talking about will allow you to mount Nikon F-mount lenses on your E-410. Keep in mind though that the lenses will be completely manual. Any autofocus/auto-aperture features will not work. If the lens does not have a manual focus or aperture ring then you won't be able to operate them.

You can find similar adapters on eBay for a little less:

Do you already have Nikkor glass? If you have Nikon lenses then it may be fun to use them on your DSLR if $30 isn't too much money to you. Using them is a breeze with Live View.

Older Nikon lenses were not designed for digital (remember the 2x crop factor) so what may have produced sharp 35mm results may not necessarily do the same for a JPEG or RAW. Unless the lenses you have, if any, are exceptionally well-preforming then you won't be using them very seriously. They are a cheap alternative if you're looking for faster or longer lenses but most of them need to be stopped down for the best results.

If you already own Nikon lenses: sure. If you plan on buying manual Nikon lenses for your E-410: it's probably best to save up for better offerings.

That should work.
