[Leica] Olympus OM lenses to E500

[lrzeitlin at optonline.net (Lawrence Zeitlin)]

I have an Olympus E500 4/3rds DSLR. It has performed admirably with  
the Olympus twin lens kit that came with the camera. This last week I  
tried using some of my Zukio fixed focal length Olympus OM SLR lenses  
on the camera with an Olympus adapter. The results were very mixed.   
With the film camera the images were razor sharp. With the DSLR half  
the pictures are blurred or out of focus. I know that it is hard to  
focus the DSLR with the tiny screen, but even when I stop down I get  
the same bad results. I would like to be able to use the OM lenses on  
the E500. It makes such a small, neat package.

I know that some of you are successful at using Leica lenses on  
Olympus DSLRS. How do you do it? Can you offer some advice?
