Best Canon FD lens to m4/3 body lens adapter for GH1?

[Filmkid2003]

Hey everyone. Anyone have any experience with Canon FD lens to micro 4/3 adapters for the GH1 that can tell me which one is the best built with a nice tight fit with no wiggle whatsoever, and focuses to infinity exactly without going past infinity? I bought a Metabones Nikon to m4/3 lens adapter and it is just awesome. But Metabones doesn't make one for the Canon FD lenses yet. What is the best m4/3 adapter for Canon FD lenses?

I use the Jinfinance one, nice fit no slop, but had to superglue the ring that engages the aperture pin so it was in the locked position as it would creep if knocked. Probably could have dismantled it and adjusted the detent, but piece of mind with it permanently locked. Happy with the infinity focus accuracy though.

I have an RMA to B+H for the Bower one. I may try to adjust it if http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320475054132&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT isn't any better.

The Bower fits nicely on the camera but is loose on the lens side. Infinity focus is off.

I use the german Novoflex adaptor. It fits tight and nice, infinite focus is perfect.

Does anyone make any Canon FD to m4/3 adapters WITHOUT the aperture ring? I don't want that ring on there anyway. Anyone know of any? Please post links. Thanks.

rambooc1 - are you saying you glued the "locked <--> open" ring on the adaptor? i couldn't figure out the purpose of this ring since on my setup the "new fd" lens i had simply locked itself to the adapter. it didn't seem to make a difference what i did with the adapter ring.

If you don't want aperture control, take the screw out, saw it off, use a laser or try to stare at it hard enough.

Personally I think aperture control is essential, especially when using an adapted lens....but hey I'm no expert.

I have the FD/FL adapter from ciecio7 on eBay. Only two solid well manufactured pieces of aluminium, no screws, no extra plates, no pins, no nothing that can come loose.
