canon fd lenses you can't use on 4/3 bodies, there are no adapters.

and you are told wrong about the adapters and infinity. i've used on e-520 nikon, om, m42, pentax k, pentacon six, minolta md lenses and all had infinity focus.

I found this adapter FD to 4/3 adapter and most other makes like this one said zoom to infinity isn't possible.

Thanks for the info on the other lenses especially the Nikon, I'll go search for a used lens.

for canon fd it isn't possible because 4/3rds register distance between back of the lens and sensor is 38.58mm and for canon fd register distance is 42mm that makes 3.42mm difference to make an adapter which can't be done while preserving infinity.

my gear:
E-M5+45mm/1.8
E-520+12-60+14-42+70-300+Sigma 105 + FL-50R+EC20 + SRF-11
and good amount of legacy lenses (list in profile)
