I have three plain adapters and all of them fit my Zuikos just fine.
But only one of them will fit my Vivitar 90/2.5, Soligor 35-70/2.5 and
one other third party lens I can't recall at the moment. I had thought
that the AF confirm adapter had a better fit but I find tonight that it
not only doesn't fit the Vivitar 90/2.5 but is the first one not to fit
a Zuiko. I'm getting concerned about trying even more of them.
