I have two of the prior version which was not user programmable, but could
be pre-programmed for specific a FL. As Ian Nichols has already pointed
out, they are now in part redundant with the FW update from Olympus. I also
found that the focus confirmation was extremey precise (as it maybe should
be) and thus hard to use. And fitting them to the OM-4/3 adapter is not
exactly simple, as you need to align them axially, radially, vertically and
horizontally - if you get my drift.
Further, they render the adaptors to whoch they are fitted incompatible with
lenses having sihnificant rearward extensions, whether by reason of the
glasss (50/1.2) or the lens protection "prongs".
And since they were first released, there have appeared a number of Chinese
versions which are available ready fitted via auction site vendors who are
already well-known to the OM list - for the right reasons.

I happened to stumble across this website and found this curious product.
Has anyone else heard of this; does it work or is it a rip off?
