As I read his note, Moose, Jan (hello again!) was interested in the shift and 
tilt adapters available on the auction site. 

There are some OM-m43 such as 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kipon-Tilt-Shift-Adapter-for-Olympus-OM-Mount-Lens-to-Micro-Four-Thirds-M4-3-MFT-/121152970108?hash=item1c35479d7c:g:EfMAAOxyYSJR-fw6
 but it isn't exactly cheap.

Or there is 
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Tilt-Shift-Adapter-for-Canon-EOS-Lens-to-Panasonic-Olympus-Micro-4-3-m43-Adapter-/401291603074?hash=item5d6ed7ec82:g:4y4AAOSwO~hXIcef
 which *is* cheap, and does not do what the title suggests - as far as I can 
tell it is a tilt-only adapter.

No experience with either type.

Did you mean an adapter to use 4/3 lenses on µ4/3? I'm used to the arrow going 
from lens to body in describing lens 
adapters. Both Oly and Panny make them, and undoubtedly others.

The problem is that 4/3 lenses are designed to work well with Phase Detection 
AF systems. All µ4/3 bodies except the E-M 
I & II use only Contrast Detect AF, and adapted 4/3 lenses focus somewhere 
between slowly and impossibly slowly on them, 
depending on particular combination.

The E-M1 bodies sensors add PDAF capability. Reportedly, they are fine with 
adapted 4/3 lenses.
