FWIW I'm going down the Leica R, Oly-E route too (got the cash, but=20
have to wait for my camera store to get new stock - no wonder these=20
places are going out of business. Grrr...)
So far I've found two Leica lens adapter rings (R -> 4/3): Cameraquest=20=
or Roxsen. The price difference is remarkable. I bought my Roxsen=20
version for =A357 UKPounds ($AUD 136). The Cameraquest comes in at @ =
$US=20
175 + PPH (approx $AUD 250). Yikes!
The Roxsen ring arrived from Hong Kong yesterday. Solid chrome-plated=20=
brass. Matt black painted interior. Generally well made & finished. =20=
I strongly recommend it :?)
(FWIW Garry Todoroff - Lympa Log - also uses the Roxsen model).

Enter "leica r olympus" in the "Shop Search" panel.
I notice they also make a very inexpensive "Leica R -> Canon EOS"=20
adapter ring: =A37 UKPounds + PPH. (Enter "leica r eos" in the "Shop=20
Search" panel). If it has the same kind of workmanship as their=20
R->4/3, then it'd be a pretty good buy too!
To end on a sour note though... I notice that if you click on one of=20
their ebay purchase links for the EOS ring, you'll get a few photos and=20=
a lot of text. Guess who they stole the text from?...
