I have an Olympus E-520 (Four Thirds mount) and a Super Albinar MC Auto Zoom 80-200mm f/4.5 manual-focus lens. The adapter I already tried does not fit. What mount adapter should I look for to use this lens on the E-520?

A Minolta MC/MD to 4/3 adapter would seem to fill the bill. There's one available here (at about $180), and there may be others (my search turned up a few discontinued makes). The MC lens is compatible with the Minolta MD mount, if that helps in your search at all.

For an Olympus E-520, you need an adapter that matches the lens mount to the Olympus Four Thirds body mount. Based on the community answer, this lens is being identified as compatible with the Minolta MC/MD mount, so the adapter to look for is a Minolta MC/MD to Four Thirds adapter.

A few cautions: third-party lenses like Super Albinar were made in several mounts, so it’s worth confirming the lens mount visually before buying another adapter. If the lens is truly Konica AR mount, a Minolta MC/MD adapter will not fit. But if it matches Minolta MC/MD, that adapter is the right choice.

With this kind of adapter, expect manual focus and manual/aperture-priority exposure only.
