Step 5Some final thoughts...
Well, you can avoid all the hassle by buying several chipped mount adapters for the starts. Maybe I am a cheapo (I bought the camera for £40 and repaired it anyway). I already had several 'naked' adapters, and I wanted to have the confirmation chip embedded in my camera.
Now I can put many gorgeous manual focus lenses on my camera and still have AF confirmation (like this superb Olympus Zuiko 35/2 - Photo 1). AF confirmation chip simulates a 50mm f/2.0 lens as seen on Photo 2. The tiny switch enables/disables the built in AF confirmation chip. It is nicely hidden in battery compartment.
Well I guess I should say: I modified it, because I can. :-) It was fun.
