I have a non-chipped adapter on the E-M1 with focus peaking set on a front
button. Works fine for focusing manual lenses as far as I'm concerned. Have
never seen a chipped one for sale.......assume it's not needed. E-M5 is a
different barrel of fish.

My understanding is the E-M5 won't be able to give focus conformation witha
manual focus lens, as that is principally impossible using only contrastAF.
Contrast AF is based on selecting the 'best' sharpness (contrast!)after moving
the focus very fast around the point the camera assumes youwant to focus on, in
a camera controlled way. No MF lens can be controlledlike that.
Maybe an E-M1 with a chipped 43 adapter could focus confirm (since it hasthe
phase AF needed for it on sensor), but I can't tell you. Any E-M1owners on the
list?
Best, Frank
