And I was talking about using the Metabones type adapters with any
camera. I didn't see one with OM lens mount so concluded the right
solution was Canon EF mount. Canon EF has a very short register
distance which makes it ideal for adapting other lenses... such as OM.

Chuck,
Huh? Not sure whom "you" refers to. For my part I was just interested in
maybe getting an X-Pro1 as another way to mount Zuikos.

So you buy the Canon EOS/EF to whatever adapter to minimize the lens
registration distance and then add whatever adapter will adapt a MF lens to
Canon EF? Seems to me that would be the only use for the EF version since
there's no way to control the aperture of an AF Canon EF lens.

Send me the 85/2, Joel, and it will be my pleasure! That is the one Zuiko

never got to have, and I sold my 100/2.8 last year (as well as the 180/2.8
and 300/4.5, all to the same buyer!)
I took a look at the specifications, and reckon that a 50/1.4 is a
reasonable stand in, especially if set to minimum focus. So here they be:

You will notice that I did not invest in the real thing, a Metabones
adapter for the simple reason that they were not available for EOS to FX,
and I specifically wanted to go that route to maximise the options
available to me (not that I have ever had a single C@non lens). So the
Zhongyi it had to be, despite it being very nearly half the price of the
Metabones EOS to OM.

PS I have already taken a guess at the follow up question, and refer you
to
my " anthropogenesis" response to Chuck the other day.
