That's fantastic, Chuck (and maybe it will inspire you to get the one for the 
5D working).

I just got the Big_IS OM to Micro 4/3 adapter.  It arrived in 8 days 
from the day I ordered it... far, far sooner than the promised delivery 
which was sometime between Jan 30 and Feb 15.  The adapter is also 
supplied with an 4/3 rear lens cap.  I should have brought a spare OM 
body cap for the adapter but didn't think of it.

The adapter seems well made.  It fits the camera firmly and locks on 
easily and securely.  It's also a very good fit on the OM Zuiko 50/1.4 
that I brought along with me.  And it's very easy to use on the E-M5.  I 
put the camera in aperture preferred mode.  The first test shot I took 
was with the lens wide open.  Got a nice exposure with good looking 
histogram.  Then I closed the lens down to f/8.  I was initially 
startled to see that the viewfinder wasn't any dimmer.  Then I realized 
that the EVF was compensating for me.  So I was able to focus and shoot 
the next shot at f/8 with no need to open up for focus and close back 
down again for the shot.  Another good exposure and histogram.  This is 
too easy.  Canon eat your heart out.  :-)
