Read with caution. Most of the discussion around this link (despite
subject lines) has to do with the OM->EOS adapter and not the OM->four
thirds adapter.
To get back to Keith's original query the official Olympus OM to four
thirds adapter does exist. It was free in the US to E-1 purchasers
under specific request to Olympus. Its availability varies by regional
markets (or at least it did in the past). It is no longer free in the
US but can be purchased from Olympus dealers under part number 260231.
Originally it was known as the "MA-1" but is now called the "MF-1". Why
the change in name I don't know. Perhaps it's the difference between
the free and not free versions. John Hermanson (on this list) and at
<http://www.zuiko.com> sells them and offers a discount to list members.
Price from John is about USD 90. This makes it substantially cheaper
than the alternative offered by CameraQuest. The adapter is prominently
pictured on the home page at John's site.
I think the archives are too old to pick up most of the adapter info.
