Hi all
I was curious too of the difference: I used an adapter from Jinfinance
and very pleased of it (both the Leica M and the OM version) so I bought
one from greatfoto OM version
http://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/230778634596?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
a lot cheaper than Jinfinance ones 12,45 $ vs 37, 25 $ the construction
is fine but the chrome plated brass mount is smaller: the diameter is
57, 2mm vs 58,75mm for the Jinfinance and 59,80 mm on the genuine
Olympus and the dimensions of the bayonets tabs are smaller too
This adapter works fine with my Zuiko 85mm, and will stay permanently on
it as it's a wonderful lens on the M4/3...
but for heavier lenses or for frequent changes I definitely prefer the
Jinfinance one
