Hello everybody.

I have bought one of the Chinese adapters for my Olympus E-510,
where you have to use a hexagon key to lock the lens on the adapter.
Unfortunately it seems that if you try to screw the lock hard, the lens moves
a bit and you have problems focusing at infinity. The best solution I have found is to screw it until you feel resistance, but unfortunately the lens is not secure on the body.

Anyone else has the same problems?

VGR adapter look more clever with 4 screws and adaptable on any lens.

VGR adapter has AF confirm too. I have a MINOLTA adapter from Jfinance no problem with infinity on E-1.

But from what I know it can't reach infinity!

Well, he is the seller I got the adapter. Do you secure the lens very tight on the adapter?

I have three different MD to 4/3 adapters. All made in China. I found them well made and the hexa screw gives some extra securety. I never turn it very hard and i think it is a solid solution. I have no problems with infinity. The only adapters which give me a lot of trouble with infinity are m42 adapters.
I also use a VGR adapter on a praktica B mount, but i am allways afraid it will fall of. The af confirmation works great.

I think impossible to fall off with eight screws, perhaps mine is later version than yours.
