Viltrox micro 4/3 to 4/3 lens adaptor issue
Jan 11, 2014 19:11:38 #
I just received a Zuiko 4/3 35mm macro lens. I had also purchased a Viltrox JY-43F adaptor which I attempted to put onto the lens. The adaptor attached to the M4/3 camera body easily enough but as many times as I tried, the lens would not attach to the adaptor without jambing.
Anyone else here have similar problems? I checked on DPreview where some people said they had problems and others not.

Poor electrical connection? See: http://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/41540094 (look for the Edit Later answer).
As an aside, I think I would make doubly sure that this adapter is intended to attach a 4/3 lens to a M4/3 body. The following is a direct quote from this website: <http://dx.com/p/viltrox-jy-43f-lens-adapter-ring-for-olympus-digital-cameras-black-167833>
" This lens mount adapter makes it possible to mount any existing Four Thirds lens on the PEN for use in AF shooting; This lens mount adapter is for Micro Four Third (M 4/3) Lenses to Four Third (4/3) Cameras"
(I have seen the same statement on at least two other websites).
