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. Wink

So im looking for a good alternative from ebay or other store. Looking for something on the cheap side. Any recommendations?

I think all came from same manufacturer and sell by different sellers.

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. Smile

Actually nm I'll just use some electrical tape, hopefully it will stay intact for some time Smile
You can delete this thread I guess..

Sorry I forgot this , this is 100% different than others and due made by an expert I expect no trouble like with many others what you can get from Ebay.

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

VGR: Is it possible to buy them without the chip? I would probably get an m42 to 4/3 too if it's possible.

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.
