Niko DSLR (F) to Olymbpus BH-2

Post by vocci »

Greetings-

I have inherited an Olympus BH-2 trinocular. The lens adapter is for an olympus of course. Can I remove this and replace it with a Nikon-F adapter? Where would I get a F-mount adapter?

Thanks-

Jim

I have a photo, if interested.

Pics are good but it probably has an OM mount on it. Adapting to Nikon requires a cheap direct adapter.

You can swap the adaptor out, just carefully loosen 3 screws and lift the thing out. JIS screws love to strip.
Search Olympus OM to Nikon F mount. They are like $25.
You will need to dremel the screw caps or shorten (or both) sometimes, they protrude and impede mounting. They are quite flimsy but works well, generally.
