I have an E-P3 with both the 14-42mm and 40-150mm lenses and was wondering if anyone knows of adapter for copying/photographing slides that will fit any of those lenses? I was thinking of getting an optical slide scanner, but can't seam to find one that will allow for focusing. Thanks guys.

To answer your original question, I tried the 14-42 with my homemade rig, and it can't focus when the slide is close enough to cover most of the screen  You can get a shot with the 35mm slide covering about 2/3 of the screen though.  The 40-150mm doesn't work at all for this - minimum focus distance is way too great.
