Thoughts on 3 lenses?

I have access to an Olympus 11-22 (have to buy the 4/3 to m4/3 adapter though) and I'm curious if anyone has experience with it? I understand it's an electronic iris, so I'd have to leave it wide open and just use the ND, wheel - not sure how that will work :P

Also I just picked up a Carl Zeiss Jena (manufactured by Sigma) 24mm 2.8 macro. I believe it's a Pentax K screw mount, so any adapters out there folks like? (I'm looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Adapter-K-mount-Olympus-Panasonic/dp/B003EAS5SW)
It seems nice and sharp and I foresee using it for interviews and/or verite in small rooms.

Also just got a Tokina 28 - 70 (nikon mount) which I'm looking forward to trying out today :)
 
Honestly, I would have thought the need to acquire 3 separate lens adapters would make them rather more trouble than they could be. Given the price of the Olympus 11-22mm, I'd suggest getting the Tokina 11-22mm in a Nikon mount instead - you'll be able to use the same adapter you use for your other Tokina, and it's a constant f/2.8 through the zoom range.
 
I used the Olympus 11-22 on my GH1 for almost a year. Its an excellent lens and it does communicate iris/exposure info, AF almost isn't an issue at this focal length range. I can only compare it to the Tokina 11-16 (which I have), the build quality is just as good if not better and I think its a little better corrected for CA than the Tokina. I used the Olympus 4/3 to m4/3 adapter.
