As noted by the other reviewers, the aperture of the EF lens in use cannot be changed when the lens is mounted on the micro 4/3 camera body, you also lose autofocus capability and the image stabilization function of the EF lenses. Those are the downsides to this adapter. The upside is the ability to use a wide range of Canon EF lenses on you Olympus or Panasonic micro 4/3 bodies. The best benefit here is the use of the long lenses and EF tele-zooms. You get an effective doubling of the focal length with no loss of lens speed. My 70-200/2.8 EF lens is now the equivalent of a 140-400mm zoom with the same maximum aperture of f/2.8 when used on my Lumix G1. In addition, the minimum focus distance of the lens remains the same. Not a bad compromise, in my opinion. Of course, you have to be aware that this doubling of focal length effect also doubles the likelihood of camera shake when handholding. Consider a tripod or use a higher ISO.I've only used this adapter a short time so I can't judge long-term function, however, it seems to work well with the EF lenses I've tried on it: 50/1.4, 85/1.8, 70/200/2.8, 400/5.6 and 100-300/4.5-5.6. I've not tried the trick of stopping down the lenses on an EOS body and using it at an aperture other than maximum. That seems a little too involved to me although I can see how it would be a benefit under some circumstances--high speed lens in full sunlight, for example. Since I've not used it a lot and don't know how well it will hold up long-term, I'll only give it 4 stars.If for no other reason than to experiment and have some fun, I would recommend this adapter.

Do you have multiple Canon EF Lenses? How could you NOT buy this product? You paid too much NOT to be able to use them on your Micro 4/3rds body. Not to mention that other than the 20 f1.7 pancake, there really aren't many fast lenses available for micro 4/3. Now I can use my 50 f1.4, 100 f2.0, 135L f2.0, & 24-70L f2.8Yes, yes...no Aperture control using the 4/3 body - you must set it to a certain F stop on your Canon Body and (while holding the 'depth of field preview' button) remove the lens.(I shoot wide open most of the time anyway)And, I'm sure you know, there will be no Auto Focus. That does suck, but it's to be expected.In short, it's a want in my case not a need...but it sure is fun to be able to mix my current lens collection with my new GF1.-------------Build quality is above average, but is nothing to write home about. It works as advertised.

As was mentioned by another customer, this product is not machined well and is currently stuck on my Canon 50mm 1.4 lens - which was the first lens I put it on out of the box. I'm thankful I didn't put it on one of my more expensive lenses. The little button that appears to release was just stuck in place and in trying to press it in harder to get the mount off, it literally just broke right-off. Other than literally sawing through and breaking off this mount, I don't see how I'm going to be able to remove it - which obviously concerns me because I don't want to break then lens. I'd highly recommend against this product as it is poorly manufactured and not up to status-quo standards of what a product like this should be. Fotodiox really needs to improve their QA department.I'm a professional photographer and use a lot of these adaptors for various cameras and lenses and this is literally the worst I've seen.
