Nor would it do you much good if you did have EF mount Canon lenses.
The Zongyi thing has no way to control aperture on EF lenses, they'd
always be wide open. No way to do autofocus either so the lens must
necessarily have manually operated focus control. I'm not sure that all do.

Correct, Chuck.
I do not have any EF mount lenses, but I have OM to EF adapters, and as you
say, the EF mount is fit for almost any mount adapter.

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.
