Your older analog "medium to long" lenses will work just fine with new digital sensors.
Use of wide-angle, analog lenses on modern digital camera "might" pose a problem, but then again, they might not. YMMV.

I think the e520 is a great small package and ideal for low-ISO photography.
However, I would hate to see you put a huge piece of glass on such a lovely little camera!

I have been looking at details of the E520. 

 

  As I already have an OM with several lenses I would be grateful if anyone can point out any drawbacks - other than the loss of autofocus - that could stem from using a proprietary adapter and my 'film' lenses rather than buying new digital lenses together with the 520 body.

 

 The 520 incorporates 'shake reduction' within the camera body.

 

 

Many thanks, Michael
