Yes
Have been going through my dads equipment and just don't really know what to do with it all. Is it worth trying to sell or use? Or just donate it to charity shop/throw away ( the thought of the latter makes me so sad...my dad was so proud of his camera )

Camera Body is Olympus OM20
Flashgun: Starblitz 3602-DTZ
Lenses: Zuiko Auto-s 50mm 1.8, Vivitar 28-70mm 1:3.9-4.8, Sun 85-300mm 1:5, Olympus 2x Teleconverter, Kenlock Auto 2x Teleconverter, AICO Video Teleconverter 2.0x

Can I utilize any of this on either the Nikon D5100 or Canon 300D? Is any of it worth selling and at what sort of price? There are some cokin filters too but I'm looking at getting another adaptor for those on my lenses. Shame my kit lens of 18-55 has rotating front, as the adaptor he has fits that...irritating! Ah well...will have a play about with those at least. There is a sun filter there too I may see if that fits one of mine....

Forgot to say, I've not tested any of it yet....
 
The 50mm lens at least would be quite good on the 300D but auto-focus is not guaranteed.
You need an adapter ring like this:

I have an OM20 too and though unused for about 15 years the battery in it still lights up the viewfinder display.
I can think of worse things to keep just as a sort of ornament rather than throw it out or give it away?

Thanks so much for the link to the adapter.... even if I don't use the Olympus body, I can still use the lenses on the Canon :)

I'll check it all over later, give it a bit of clean where needed and see if I can get some film asap to test it out, see if i'm much cop at using it...
