Yes, I actually own one but haven't been inspired enough yet to try it
on other than the 90/2.5 S1 macro where it doesn't fit.  Every OM
adapter I've ever bought fits the bodies but, except for the very first
one some 4 or 5 years ago, is too tight to allow that lens to fit.



I've had almost no trouble for any lens with the Camerquest adapter and 
Optix V chip.
It did misbehave once last year but just cleaned the contacts with an 
eraser.

I was massively overextended prior to a trip to a family visit and did 
not shoot Portra 160 for the first time in many years as the fridge was 
empty.
I have never been happy using the Canyon 24-105 for such events.  I 
mostly used the Z. 50/1.4 and Z. 85 F2 on the above adapter
and it came out fine--especially as I had minded the lessons from Dr. 
Flash.   Much happier.

Give those Zuikos some excercise, Mike
