It is the best aftermarket lens I have ever owned. As for R-Oly adapters, there is some guy on the Olympus mailing list who is sourcing some focus confirmation chips from Russia and sticking them onto adapters (although I think these are OM-lenses to E adapters), but to be honest, it sounds a bit dodgy. I use my 100mm Apo Macro on the E410 without too many missed shots (there are two handheld macro shots in my my most recent PAW, shot with this lens on the Olympus). Of course, it helps that I tend to shoot at the wide apertures, but on the other hand I think that the viewfinder on your E3 is better than the one on my E410. So I would just focus (pun intended) on getting a quality adapter, and forget about focus confirmation.
