I now have an E-PL1 and the official Oly adapter in hand. Lens and Adapter fit 
body pretty much the same. 14-150 lens is 
a plastic mount and adapter is metal, so there is a subtly different 'feel' as 
they twist on, but I wouldn't say one is 
tighter or harder than the other.

I won't have an E-M5 until Tuesday, but you can be sure that I'll try all three 
lenses I'll have then and the OM adapter.

The OM adapter is ridiculously expensive for a simple extension tube with 
different mounts on each end, but nicely built 
and free after the rebate.
