<p>Not to long back I bought the canon reflex lens 500mm 1:8 lens. I was able to remove the back and by a converter off of ebay that had a slightly bigger diamoter then the whole that is left when you remove the FD bayonet. Then with a bit of sanding on the converter ring that I bought was able to press it into the whole.<br>
I was able to convert the lens with very little trouble to the Olympus 4/3 and I was able to focus to infinity because I made sure that the face of the converter was even with the back of the lens.<br>
However, this being said, because the lens is a fixed aperture I had no problems with an quadrature ring had it not been then I would have had to do God knows what to make the aperture usable, if I even could. Most likely I would have had to fix the aperture at an exceptionable point and just deal with the inalienability to change it.<br>
