Okay, I was just given this lens, which has an Olympus mount. It is a Version 3 manufactured by Komine (apparently the best of the various versions). I have read that in its day, as a second party lens, it was highly rated. Has anyone shot it on a Nikon dslr body? I shoot a 5200 and it looks like I can get an adapter at B&H, but it will be manual focus and the metering can be iffy and it looks like I could buy a Nikon version on ebay for about the same price as the adapter. It also weighs a ton. On the plus side, it is supposed to be very sharp.

Thoughts?
