I agree.
I WAS looking at buying a new EPL-1 but now can't afford to. For now...
I would have bought the` Novoflex Nikon 4/3rds adapter - because I have 20
Nikon lenses.
Then an R mount adapter - right now - only 2 R lenses....
I still have to wonder about weight on the camera lens mount from any older
Canon/Nikon/Leica R zoom or big tele....
Novoflex looks like the best but Olympus will be offering their in-house
converter adapters - However I have seen no pricing.
Steven Gandy at www.Cameraquest.com - shows a passle of choices - but WHO knows?
It seems from FlickR friends in Japan - there ARE several choices as the
Panasonic micro 4/3rd cams are hot there - with Leica lenses adapted...
Any of the readers from Japan - have advice??

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
