Yes, I had forgotten that the two adapters that have fit problems with a
few non-OEM lenses came from jinfinance. But I bought the second one
from him knowing that the first one had the problem because, despite the
fit problem on a couple of lenses, the adapter seemed well made. He
said he would discuss the tolerance problem with his supplier but I
don't know whether follow-on buyers might have benefited from that or
not as I haven't bought another adapter in quite some time.
I also agree with Moose's assessment that the AF confirm adapter that
Johnny mentioned looks exactly like the adapters provided by jinfinance
but with AF confirm chip added. But I just checked his listings and see
that all of his adapters are now AF confirmation but there is no Olympus
OM to EOS adapter although there is OM to 4/3.
