Any good Olympus OM to Canon EOS adapters?

Post by viktor j nilsson »

I use a Canon 5D mark II on my Olympus Vanox AH.

The setup is as follows:
FK 2.5x photo eyepiece -> Photomicro Adapter L -> Noname Olympus OM to Canon EOS adapter -> 5D mark II.

The cheap OM to EOS bayonet adapter I have is really bad, lot of play.
I would like to change it for a better fitting adapter.

Has anyone found a good one? Would rather pay a little more for one that works well than try a bunch of cheap ones.

K&F adapters have usually been decent: https://www.kentfaith.com/

Thanks JKT! The reviews of the OM-EOS adapter indeed sounds promising, several seem much happier with the K&F adapter than most other cheap adapters:

"Not at all wobbley."
"Very tight!"
"Perfect fit! Snug and smooth. And more important it UNmounted just as smoothly."

Can't say things like that about the adapter I have - it's wobbley even after adding three layers of electrician's tape between the adapter and camera, and almost impossible to remove from the camera.

I ordered one from K&F.
