I believe that this is the first (unapproved) third-party adapter for 4/3 lenses on m4/3 bodies with AF:

JY- 43F Four Thirds lens mount adapter for Olympus

Viltrox 1st product, Micro 4/3 JY-43F lens mount adapter is for Olympus E-P1 series cameras and a Four Thirds System lens. This lens adapter makes it possible to mount any existing four thirds lens on a micro four thirds digital camera.

Seller "cam2_uk" (eBay) sells these for some GBP 55 plus posting.
The thing works flawless.

That looks like a genuine UK seller. I.e. no more customs fees for EU members.

Not too expensive either.

I wonder if they reverse engineered it like Sigma and Tamron do?
