Product is well designed and works as advertised. No problem focusing to infinity without a rear optics addition. It installs and removes from easily from both the camera body and the lens. Would definitely recommend this product if you want more life from your old OM lens.

The lens adapter fitted snugly to the canon body and had no movement at all. The OM lens had a bit of slop when fitted to the adapter mount and this fact was noted on some other reviews. I looked at the images of the mount and saw one showing how to adjust the tightness of the lens against the mount. On the lens mount there are some thin slots around the inside of the adapter as shown on the photo. Just put the end of a thin object (knife or very small screwdriver) into the slot and open it a SMALL fraction. (I mean REALLY SMALL!) I did this on all slots and the lens was then super firm in the mount and when I put it all together it was like I got a new lens. I adjusted the camera on manual mode and took some images which were perfect. With this product I gained 3 lenses that were stored away for quite a few years.

Highly recommend this to anyone in doubt.

This adapter works perfectly with my Canon EOS mount. The lens I'm using with it is an old (but in very good condition) Osawa, which fits the adapter perfectly. I am, however, experiencing a little bit of looseness when the adapter is attached to my 2x teleconverter, however this is due to the fact that it's a cheap JCPenny brand converter.

This adapter fits my Canon tightly but is loose on my OM lenses. The OM lenses fit the Olympus tightly (of course)but wobble around a bit in the adapater. I can live with it since I mainly want to attach my 500mm mirror lens to the Canon. But it was a big disappointment not to have it fit properly.

The converter was slightly loose on my 5 Olympus Zuiko mounts from the late 70's. I emailed and Fotodiox got right back to me with the way to tighten the fit. You can insert a very small flat screwdriver (watchmaker type) into the slots that run along the center of the OM mount flanges and expand them slightly. Then it fits perfectly. Just don't overdo it.

"Please see attached photo on how to make the lens mount a tighter fit. You will need to open the gaps/tabs of the adapter with a small flat head screwdriver. Yes, the pro adapter is made differently, it has a spring lock system so the lens mount is a tighter fit. -- L. Kapsalis, Sales Manager"

Usable, but not too impressive. My lenses fit on it rather loosely, but the thing does work. What more is there to be said?

I ordered this adapter because I own several expensive OM lenses and did not want to have to replace them when I purchased my Canon EOS Rebel XSi camera. I received it in the mail yesterday and immediately put it to work.

Several people told me I would have to use manual focus with this adapter. I tried my auto focus option just to see what I would get and was surprised to have some of the best pictures I have ever taken! I have used it with 50mm, 28mm, and 75-150 lenses. All of my pictures are fabulous and more than I ever expect from the combination.

Due to the use of this adapter working so well, I am now going to be purchasing more of them so I have adapters for any make of lens. Buying older 35mm lenses is a lot cheaper when you are just starting out. Since I wish to have a variety of lenses to prevent limits to what I can photograph, this is a wonderful option for me.

It never hurts to try one. At the price of this and how inexpensive 35mm lenses are, you can't go wrong. I have checked all over the place locally and within a 100 mile radius of where I live to find these. THE EQUIPMENT COMPANIES DO NOT STOCK THEM. Now I see why...They would not be selling as many of the expensive lenses because there would be an option!

Happy Shooting!

Tight fit on my olympus lens and on my T1i. No probs at all.

Definitely 5 stars! I ordered this OM-EOS adapter in order to use an old 50mm 1.4 Olympus OM lens on my Canon T2i body for video shooting. Sure, I knew that it would not allow auto-focus or digital camera connection, but since I don't need those things for shooting video, this was perfect and affordable. The product arrived new in the box as described, was shipped punctually, and works flawlessly. The adapter fits snugly on both the camera body and lens; I am very satisfied with the purchase. I hope this review will be of use to other people who are also looking for a dependable adapter. I fully recommend fotodiox.

This adapter fits all of the OM lenses I have tried so far very well. There is no wobble and the adapter fits VERY tight. Much better fit and finish than the Fotodiox N/AI to EOS adapter I have. If every one of the cheap adapters fit this well then I would not have to buy the better ones! The only thing that I didn't like is that they used a cemented bent screw to stop the aperture from closing. This is a little cheap IMO but it works as advertised. Overall very satisfied with the adapter. Can't wait for the OM 21/2 to get here...
