Can anyone recommend a good OM to 4/3 adapter? I got myself a fotodiox one but the lens isnt sitting tightly on the adapter and there is some play which is enough to make my shots slightly out of focus.
Right now im using some thick paper as a shim, but it is kind of hard to switch lenses in the field and putting back the shims when its windy. 
So im looking for a good alternative from ebay or other store. Looking for something on the cheap side. Any recommendations?

Yea, but there seems to be a few different looking models available ranging from 6$ to 60$, Im wondering if anyone have any experience with some of those sellers and can confirm that the lense wont be flopping around.  |

what do you mean? Is the silver part a little loose?
Check the little screws at the sides, perhaps these are not tightened enough.

hk300 : The adapter is mechanically fine, but it's missing a fraction of a mm of thickness on the silver part. So the lens rotates a little when focusing/zooming. |
