Thank you again! I'm primarily interested in longer focal length lenses
and so the 1.6 factor works in my favor. My widest lens for my OMs is a
17mm and as long as I don't have to immediately buy new lenses, I will
continue to take my OM2 and OM4 with me!
Do I understand that you noticed fall-off with the 17-40 on film? Wasn't
that lens made specifically for the C*non digital cameras?

Download the following photos from Canon Web site you will see how the C*non
16-35mm/2.8 perform:

I also have experience with the 17-40, it do ok on the scenes with higher
contrast objects but with lower contrast object fall on the edges you will
immediate see the problem. Of course with the small images on the web you
will not see it, you need the file in original pixel size.
I always have the 18/3.5 with me when I use the 10D, it performs ok, I would
say it is similar or slightly better than the 17-40. But the 17-40 did very
well being a zoom except the color rendering, it was dull with slide.
On the other hand with longer lenses on the 10D there was no problem,
especially the 75-150, it performed very well.

Are you still using Zuikos on your 10D and have you seen any problems using
OM lenses with digital? I stumbled across another page recently that
directly compared the E-1 with the 10D and the 1D and the E-1 was quite
warmer than the other two. The 10D was using the new 17-40mm zoom and they
used a cheaper Tokina zoom on the 1D. Even with the cheaper Tokina, I
didn't see any lack of sharpness or corner fall-off on the 1D. I also did
notice any on your shots, although I realize these are compressed JPGs.
Your shots look nice and sharp and the colors appear smooth and accurate.

And I learnt this adapter over four years ago here from a Japanese list
member Tomoko Yamamoto. At that time I was not that interest on using C*non
film body with the Zuiko but now digital makes the different.
