I have three plain OM-EOS adaptors and one with focus confirmation chip.
The three plain ones are exactly the same (0.02mm thinner) and the one with
confirmation chip is 0.01mm thicker so that one looks like from different
manufacturer. All adapters fit to all my 20+ OM lenses and the 5D II body.
For focusing I prefer using the EG-S screen as I prefer to focus my eye on
the object rather than on the confirmation light. At the mean time the
focusing accuracy seems not so good with the confirmation aid.
