For a list of available adapters (especially EOS and 4/3 bodies) see 
<http://www.cameraquest.com/adaptnew.htm>

The CameraQuest adapters are high quality but also very expensive.  But 
the site also give you a comprehensive list of what's available if 
you're willing to pay the price.  Many of these same adapter types can 
be found on ebay from Chinese sources at a small fraction of the 
CameraQuest price.  Many of these adapters are also well made but some 
are not.  Some are clearly made with automated equipment and some are 
clearly hand made on a lathe.  Some are aluminum instead of brass or 
stainless steel and some may be missing something for proper operation 
such as a pin to stop down the lens.  But at $20-30 vs $175 it pays to 
experiment.

I have two OM to EOS adapters.  For the first one I paid $100.  For the 
other $20.  The first one will accept all 20 (or so) of my OM mount 
lenses.  The cheaper one will not accept 3 of my non-Zuiko lenses.  The 
fit is too tight by probably .001 inch.  No problem, the ones that don't 
fit can be used with the other adapter.
