Hello,

I've been wanting to use an old Olympus Zuiko 50mm to a PEN E-P1. I came across an OM adapter on eBay. I was thinking of using it along with Lumix DMW-MA1 adapter.

Has anyone actually used this product:

Does the AF confirmation really work?

Thank you for any info.

As far as I know, No. Some guys in Russia tested it and it gave lots of false confirmations and was generally useless.
Get a third party m4/3 to OM instead, or the Lumix DMW-MA1 if you really indent to use it with 4/3 lenses.

Yeah, as far as I understand, Josel wanted to stack two adapters and use AF confirmation on the second.
