Mounting an OM Zuiko on my Canon Anonymous
I'm going to take a look at some cheap-ass second hand old lenses to try and mount one with an adapter to my Canon (OM Zuikos and M42 primes for the most part). Any suggestion on what I should keep an eye out for?

1) Im steering clear from the slow zooms.
2) Obviously just looking at primes.

Also, Im already looking at a Zuiko 200mm F4 they have. Does anybody know if that model's any good?

Well it's the same as choosing a Canon EF lens right? What are you trying to do/shoot?

Except it's going to be prime and dirt cheap. I mainly want to experiment with either a longer lens range or even higher apertures. I'd like to find a very sharp lens to fit either of those categories.

I currently have the 18-75 range covered and I'm working with a crop camera. I don't expect to find any fisheyes, so wide isn't that big of a point of interest. What should I look for then?

Yashica C/Y lenses over FD's? Olympus OMs over FD's or..?

What's a good although old prime on the 40-200 range?

OP here

I forgot to mention. Either good sharp, or a provider of sweet sweet bokeh.

135mm F1.8 sounds good?

1. Go to Flickr.
2. Type in the name of the lens, e.g. the terms "Zuiko" "135mm" "f/1.8" would work well.
3. Adding the term "portrait" is useful, because everyone knows sorta how a human face is supposed to look (useful to see how it draws the image) and portraits are usually shot at wide aperture (useful to judge bokeh).
4. Look over lots of 'em to see how the lens works.
5. Make a decision.
