My Dad gave me an old lens that he used to use on his film camera, I'm looking to buy an adaptor to allow me to use it with my Canon DSLR.

This is the lens;

Which he used to use on an Olympus OM20;

Would something like this work;

It's just an Olympus to Canon mount that I need, right? Thanks!
 
That should work, just realize you'll probably have to use the camera in full manual mode (focus, aperture, maybe even shutter speed). Honestly, I'd just look into a used lens that actually fits the camera. Those converters can throw the quality off.
 
I used a T-Mount adapter on my dslr for an old tele-lens I had and it worked like a charm albeit the full manual mode which tirns some people off.
 
Full Manual FTW...

Fun..

I use a few old 1960-1970 akashi takumars SMC on my Canon 50D and they are so fun!

Assuming the adaptor fits, you will love using the old skool glass!
