I've never understood why the Oly adapters are so expensive. Now perhaps I do. 
And I'm doubly glad that I got a genuine 
Oly OM=>µ4/3 adapter free on a promo.

Could it be a factor in 80/4 macro on adapter vs. 60/2.8 native µ4/3 macro lens 
test? That the 80/4 Auto covers a much 
larger field might mean no problem if adapter is close to perfect.

OM=>Canon are also thin and one piece. How perfectly centered is hard to know, 
although they can't be far off and still 
fit. :-)
