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.
