Switching to an EVIL camera

So here is my lens selection:
Minolta
45mm f2
50mm f1.7
135mm f3.5
80-200mm f4.5

Nikon
35mm f2
85mm f1.8

And the panasonic 14mm-42mm kit lens.
The nikons are some old glass I got from my aunt's father, who was a professional photographer back in his day. The minolta I got from Craiglist and my friend. Considering I spent about 60 for all the minolta, I think I got a good deal.

Circling back around to this; I found an Oly MMF-2 at a local camera shop. Vastly superior contact between the camera body and the adapter. Where the panasonic would shift when simply adjusting zoom or focus, this one stays put. It's not perfect, perhaps the version 3 is better (and sealed iirc), but this one does stay in place unless there is significant torque (the kind that shouldn't be exherted on camera parts anyway).

The panasonic is about to head back to whatever poor sod sold it to me through Amazon.
