Yes, I had forgotten that the two adapters that have fit problems with a 
few non-OEM lenses came from jinfinance.  But I bought the second one 
from him knowing that the first one had the problem because, despite the 
fit problem on a couple of lenses, the adapter seemed well made.  He 
said he would discuss the tolerance problem with his supplier but I 
don't know whether follow-on buyers might have benefited from that or 
not as I haven't bought another adapter in quite some time.

I also agree with Moose's assessment that the AF confirm adapter that 
Johnny mentioned looks exactly like the adapters provided by jinfinance 
but with AF confirm chip added.  But I just checked his listings and see 
that all of his adapters are now AF confirmation but there is no Olympus 
OM to EOS adapter although there is OM to 4/3.
