Hi Guys,

I'm wondering if someone can provide me with advice/information on whether or not there are camera mount adapters which will allow me to use a Sigma f/1.4 30mm lens (for Olympus) on a Canon T3i? I don't care if no autofocus is available, etc.

I've searched on eBay but I am not 100% sure if I am finding the right adapters.

Does anyone know of the proper adapter for this?

Thanks!

Craig

The short answer is such an adapter does not exist. There is no way to control the aperture. There are other reasons why such an adapter does not exist.

The Olympus to Canon adapters you may have found on Ebay would be for mounting old Manual Focus 1980's OM lenses on Canon bodies, and NOT a Four Thirds lens like you have.
