[Leica] E3 question: using L lenses

[afirkin at afirkin.com (Alastair Firkin)]

Thanks Jim, I'll give it a try. Now all I need is a Rollei to Olympus 
adaptor so I can use the wonderful 85mm f1.4 ;-)

Cheers

Alastair,

There is one other company that sells focus confirmation chips that can be 
added to various lens adapters for Oly 4/3 cameras.  I have a Fotodiox M42 
to 4/3 adapter, and purchased one of their chips and installed it. 
Alignment of the chip with the camera contacts appears to be quite critical. 
I had to remove the chip once, and shift it slightly before I got it to 
work, and it still is not 100% reliable.

The link to the alternate chip is given below.
