Olympus OM lenses on Fujifilm X

What the adapter has to do

Zuiko lenses put the aperture ring at the front of the barrel, and many have a depth-of-field preview button on the lens itself. A plain OM adapter only has to hold the lens at the right distance, and you set the aperture on that front ring. Don't mix OM lenses up with Olympus's later Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds lenses, which are electronic designs for digital cameras.

Set up your Fujifilm X camera

1. 01Set SHOOT WITHOUT LENS to ON (Button/Dial Setting menu) so the shutter fires on a plain adapter.
2. 02Under MOUNT ADAPTOR SETTING, enter the lens's true focal length. The camera stores up to six lenses, with optional distortion, color shading and peripheral illumination corrections.
3. 03Under MF ASSIST in the AF/MF Setting menu, pick a manual-focus aid, FOCUS PEAK HIGHLIGHT, DIGITAL SPLIT IMAGE or DIGITAL MICROPRISM.

What each lens becomes

Fujifilm X has no full-frame bodies. On a smaller sensor the frame is cropped, so each lens frames like a longer one. The f-number still sets exposure, while the depth of field looks like the larger number shown.
