En réponse à Winsor Crosby <wincros@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>:
I have one and it works mounted on a EOS RT bought used (even TTL flash but
yes with stop down metering).
I read that some EOS bodies don't allow the shutter to be released without EOS lens on it (EOS 50-Elan). I asked for a test on D60 in a shop but the local reseller have operated himself and he said that doesn't work. I am not
sure it doesn't work (not sure he disconnected the AF..).
I would like to test again by other resellers in Paris but not enough time to
do it.
I hope it will work when the prices will decrease enough for me ("amateur"). Well, I think I will better choice C*non D body against new Olympus Digital
4/3.
I am despite about Olympus politic about OM series. We still don't know from
Olympus if they have designed an adaptor for Zuikos.
The comments of french magazine "Chasseur d'images" about the success of the
Olympus 4/3 system are not very positive...
But with this kind of adapter my Zuiko lenses can be still alive with todays
bodies.

Thank you, Christian. It might be an alternative for those of us who are happy with the focal range of our lenses on full frame cameras.
