Olympus America and Olympus Japan are giving the adapters away, previously 
called the MA-1, with no guarantee, no responsibility, etc.  You have to have a 
registered E-1 to order the adapater, which is free.  I haven't heard the 
official position of other importers around the world.

They are available from a Japanese supplier also for about $180, along with 
Nikon, Yashica/Contax, and M42 mounts.  All are stop-down metering only.
