Why you need a Autofocus (AF) chip for your vintage lens.

After picking up a vintage Olmpus OM 50 mm 1.4 G.Zuiko Lens, in order to use it you need to get a adapter ring for you camera. For me it was the Canon T2i using a Olympus OM adaptor to EOS. You can just buy finished one on amazon for $20-$35 dollars ( https://amzn.to/2Egpchi ) Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

Why you need an Auto Focus chip:

  1. It allows you to focus confirm from the eye piece and focus points rather than using the LiveView mode which uses more power.
  2. Audiable focus confirm
  3. Works with the built in focus points.

They have adaptors with chips on it for sale, but if you cant find one, you can always glue on your ring yourself.

DIY: How to install an Autofocus (AF) chip on a Vintage Lens Adaptor. (Olympus to Canon)

How to install a Canon Autofocus (AF) chip on a Vintage Lens Adaptor:
Basically i got a few 1970s Olympus OM lenses that i want to use on my Canon T2i DSLR. With adaptor ring it works but you cant find focus through the view finder. So you need to use LiveView to see if its focused. Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

This causes high battery use. Installing a AF chip allows you to use the view finder electronics and the focus points. You will need an af chip for your canon DLSR, a converter ring and some epoxy. I bought a converter ring with a chip ( https://amzn.to/2Egpchi ) and had some epoxy . … or you can just buy finished one on ebay or amazon for $30-$50 dollars ( https://amzn.to/2Egpchi ). This small project was fun. Enjoy.
