The Konica’s were (and still are) a great value with very nice optics. I happily shot with an OM-D and 57/1.2, as well as later, 55mm filter versions of the 50/1.4, 135/3.5 and 200/4. The OM-D 5-axis IBIS was a revelation with adapted lenses, and I really enjoyed that kit.

So finding the right lens can be much more complicated than picking one and attaching it to your camera.

Can any lens fit on Nikon?

People don’t have to buy new lenses just for the new cameras. That’s why lots of older Nikon lenses are still popular today—they can still be used for even the latest Nikon cameras. Still, this doesn’t mean that all Nikon lenses can be used for all Nikon cameras. That’s just not possible, even for Nikon.

A mount adapter has no glass and will generally not affect the optical performance of your lenses — unless it’s exceptionally poorly made. A speed booster is like the reverse of a teleconverter. So it does add extra glass. This can affect image quality.
