Which Canon FD to Micro 4/3 adapter to get?

[amathia]

I just bought a Canon FD 50mm, 1.4 for my Panasonic G1 and am looking at adapters. But I am puzzled at the price range. It goes from $179 (cameraquest.com) down to $28.99 (ebay) for new adapters with many others in between. Does anyone know if the more expensive adapters buy me any added functionality or have any other advantages?
Thanks!

From what I've gathered, some let you easily leave the adapter on the camera, and easily let you remove and mount M lenses, or are just machined better than others.

No idea which ones are good and which ones arent, but early Novaflex (?) ones were confirmed to be of a wrong thickness, but their newest ones have fixed that.

Have you seen the Photodiox adapters that let you shift 10mm in any direction?
Google "fotodiox adapter" and click on Pro Tilt/Shift Adapter. This site has it priced at $149, but it is priced at $129 on an Amazon site. I do not have one of these adapters. Maybe someone else can comment further.

I got the 37 dollar chinese one off eBay and it works ok. If you are a stickler for quality finish get the cameraquest one.

The Cameraquest one is iikely mgf. by Rayqual. I have had mine over a year and its very very nice and easy to use, but I also have an RJ/jinfinance EOS to m4/3rds and its well worth the money. I don't know about the FD adapter, but just judging from the EOS I would think it would be just fine also---and there are a lot more.

Don't know about this specific adapter, but I can recommend RJ anytime. His service is beyond compare.

Who is RJ? Can you give a link? Thanks

Link is to his store. If you search for FD to m4/3rds adapter in his adapter section you should find it without a problem. He has a number of m4/3rds adapters
