I found this lens ( Olympus E.Zuiko 135mm 3.5) on the local antique mall and try to find the mount for my EOS. I have the Olympus Zuikoi OM-MC 50mm 1.8 and the adapter that i bough from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Fotodiox-Adapter-Olympus-Camera-Digital/dp/B001G4NBNC/ref=pd_cp_p_0 is not fit for the new one. It keep moving back and forth when i put it in .

Please, help me to find the right one for it ..


Thank you.

That is the right type of adapter, there is only one version of OM mount that I know of.
does the pin on the lens stick out? as seen in this pic

Watch to see if it engages the notch in the adapter.

I'll point to you the one I bought to the 2 50mm/1.4 OM Zuiko I own, and the 2.8/28, 3.5/35mm, and works flawlessly:

Hi,

I have adapter from the same seller as Renato. "Big-Is" is probably the best seller of cheap adapters to EOS. I took version without chip since I had a few EMF chips laying around in house and I glued it myself. I bought about 10 or so adapters from this seller (M42, Nikon F, Pentax PK and Olympus OM) to Canon EOS and all of them working well and as they should. Only in Pentax PK-EOS adapters I had to adjust metal lens-locking part, but it's hold by two small screws and it has holes big enough for adjustments.

Adapter OM-EOS works flawlessly with every single OM mount lens I have:
- Zuiko 50/1.8
- Zuiko 28/3.5
- Vivitar Series 1 28-90/2.8-3.5
- Vivitar Series 1 70-210/3.5
- Tamron Adaptall lenses with OM adapter (it's Tamron Adaptall adapter to OM and adapter from OM to EOS).

Every lens is fitting nicely and works like a charm.
