Lens adapters for M4/3 cameras

I have bought several adapters on eBay to adapt my Minolta, Nikon, and Leica lens to my M4/3 cameras. All did not work properly. Focus went past infinity and the distance scale on each lens was off. So..........I decided to give Fotodiox a shot. They worked perfectly.
My Minolta to M4/3 snaps to infinity with each lens and the scale lines up...
I just got the M39 to M4/3 and it works with the same results.. I'll be getting the Leica M to M4/3 and Nikon to M4/3 next..

No more cheap knockoffs for me..

fotodiox is awesome, and generally does not cost terribly much more.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no; my Fotodiox Pentax-K-to-m4/3 adapter allows the lens to slip from side to side even when clipped into place.

A disaster are the Pixco AF Confirm adapters, as I reported earlier.

They are made in a way that the chip interferes with the aperture control levers on the back of the lenses, at least for Minolta MD and for C/Y.

Thanks for the positive report on Fotodiox. I've had very good things from them.

Simply as another data point, I have the Panasonic mft to Leica M adapter that I use with my Olympus OM-D E-M5 and it is well made and works beautifully.

I now have fotodiox adapters for the LTM, Leica M, Nikon F, and Minolta MD/MC lens to M4/3 and all work flawlessly..

The cheap knockoff's on eBay aren't worth wasting money on and fotodiox adapters are reasonably priced and their shipping is fast..
