Must have for mu-4/3 users!,
At first, I had an issue figuring out how to control the aperture on the lens, so I have copied the instructions that I used (originally an Amazon review, copied to mu-43 forum). Hope this helps! If you do this, the lock-open ring on the ADAPTER will control aperture, so just leave the lens itself alone. If you leave the lens on f/22 permanently, you can adjust to whatever you want with the lock-close (on adapter).
——————————–
1. Install adapter ring onto camera: align the red dot on the adapter and red dot on the camera, twist to close.
2. Install lens on adapter:
2a. Stop the lens down to its smallest aperture.
2b. On the adapter, there is a ring that controls the position of a pin that allows for aperture control. Facing the front of the camera, turn the ring to its most counterclockwise position.
2c. Seat the lens on the adapter (align the red dots). Now turn the adapter ring to its most clockwise position. This aligns the pin with the lens pin.
2d. Twist the lens clockwise until it clicks shut. Now you should be able to rotate the aperture ring and see the aperture adjust. (The ring on the adapter can also be manually rotated, which will adjust the aperture, but fortunately it clicks to a shut position so you won’t do it accidentally while shooting).
3. Set the camera settings to “Shoot without lens.” Otherwise, you’ll get an error message about the lens when you press the shutter button.
3a. Turn on the GF1, and press the MENU/SET button.
3b. Scroll down on the left menu icons to CUSTOM MENU. In the CUSTOM MENU, scroll to the last item, and select SHOOT WITHOUT LENS -> ON.
3c. Set the GF1 dial to M-manual or A-aperture priority.

Works great with OM-D EM-5 and Canon 50mm f/1.4 and 100-300mm f/5.6,
The adapter works just fine on both lenses. The fit is snug without binding and all expected functionality is great. Yes, you will have to manual focus. Yes, it will focus past infinity. These are givens for adapters, find something else to complain about.
