Why do you think that the adapters use correction lenses? The E-System
Fourthirds adapter has no such lens.
Film-to-flange distances:
47.00 Leica R
46.50 Nikon
46.00 OM
45.46 M42 Screwmount
45.50 Contax/Yashica
There's certainly another .5mm that the OM-E-System adapter could be thinned to
use it on a Contax/Yashica mount, so I doubt whether they use corrective lenses.
