One person's kludge is another's bees knees. For static objects and 
macro the adapters seem fine.
It is looking like the OM5DIII chipped adapters with the improved AF 
precision may work out well.
An EVF with focus peaking and the central zooming may make MF a piece 
of cake.

I do like my Mirex T-S adapter in OM mount though with the uniquely 
engineered mount I have to reach inside the adapter to
release it. I also have a front Mamiya to Zuiko lens adapter to put the 
Z 135 and 80mm Macro on it. John added the aperture coupling pin on the 
Mirex and of course it is easily used on the Canyon though that is 
adapting an adapter.
Seems there is a Youtube for everything but this guy should have 
practiced a bit first. Perhaps I should make one for the Mirex in OM 
mount though it might get two hits and one would be mine.

Still curious why Nathan dumped some MFT lenses that have quite  a good 
reputation.  He excercises his gear quite a bit (to excellent effect) 
and if he dumps it, I pay close attention.

Curious Mike

Adapters etc. are always a kludge, sometimes better
executed than others, but a kludge nonetheless.
