Use old lens

[simonw2008]

I've inherited an old Olympus OM10 and 4 lenses. Will the lenses fit a modern digital camera and if so which ones?

Thanks
Simon

According to Wikipedia -- https/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympus_OM_system the OM10 was last sold in 1987.

According to Olympus you can use OM lenses on newer digital cameras -- http/www.olympusamerica.com/crm/oneoffpages/ask_oly/crm_e_ask_oly_04_11.asp

Here is some discussion about adapters for newer cameras -- https/www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3252528

You can use them with adapters, but the experience is not likely to please. They won't compare optically to newer lenses and auto-focus (when it works at all) will be very slow.
