Hi Miha,
I'm not sure about 4/3 adapters, but I have so many different adapters 
to Canon that I can say that you really get what you pay for.

Novoflex and Kindai are superb and cost the most. I believe Olympus now 
makes adapters for their EP models too - so they should be pretty good, 
though probably for OM lenses (maybe they make others too?). A lot of 
the cheaper adapters are poorly machined, some fit and some don't, but 
you can usually fix them by bending the spring, or widening or closing 
the slits that hold them to the bayonet flanges.

The problem with ebay is that you ever really know whether sellers are 
above board, so go for reputable sellers who have an online shop or a 
website if you can.

I hope you find adapters to meet your needs.

Cheers
Douglas
