Stopped-down metering and manual focus only. If that doesn't make sense to you, you probably don't want this adapter. Basically the adapter will let you physically mount an Olympus OM lens on your new micro four thirds system camera. You still have to focus the lens and set the aperture on the lens. This is most worthwhile if you have a good OM macro lens or extreme telephoto. In either case, you're probably taking careful images and have to manually focus anyway. Or maybe you have a large investment in OM lenses.

Anyway, the adapter works quite well, subject to its limitations. Well made and substantial in feel.

This manual adapter provides a new life for old OM -system lenses. The results with these are simply stunning. I have used it with primes from 24-200 mm with all equal good results. focusing is easy with my EP-1. If you have such a camera and old OM lenses buy one!

Works great. Considerably lighter than the earlier MF-1 model. I use it with an E-PL1 body and the Olympus 12-60 zoom. The lens is a bit heavy for that camera but the quality of the lens makes up for it.
