I went to camera show a month ago and Olympus had a booth (US). I told the
rep I have the OM system and he immediately said I should by a E-1 and they
will give me the adaptor for free. Maybe you need to go above David
Williams to get one.

I don't think that Olympus UK knew about the adaptor for a while, or
perhaps they were in denial. I have reported before that a very
reputable dealer in Cambridge (Campkins) did not know about the
adaptor.
I asked Olympus UK recently about an adaptor for the E-300 and I
received this reply:
"Dear Mr. Barker,
I acknowledge receipt of your recent e-mail and note its content
accordingly.
I regret that there is currently no information pertaining to this. I
shall, however, keep your e-mail on file until such time as this
information is available.
Regards,
David Williams"
I have not heard from them since, but perhaps I shall ginger them up a
bit by telephoning and asking directly ... ;-)
