If you find one you will be my hero! I have trawled e-bay, Googled and everything else but no joy to date! Odd as the 4/3 with its limited lens - plane setup would be one of the few that could accommodate them?
oh well.. if you do succeed please buzz me!

Doug, our member VGR (from Russia) is able to supply an adapter for 4/3 that will take any bayonet mount lens including Canon FD, complete with a Dandelion AF-confirm chip. The link to his site is on the MFLenses homepage, but here is a direct link to the adapter:

Hi, Yes I know of that one - but it does not allow infinity focus, which is a bit of a bugger? The glassed adapters for the EOS do!
Most of my FD lenses are teles so infinity is a bit important, it's not as if I do much FD macro work, when I have Takumar, Tamron and Kiron and Hexanon lenses that WILL fit the Pentax K10D and Panasonic!
Thanks anyway,
Doug.
