Thanks for posting this info. I have to ask though, how did you get one? Like you I have a battery of great Canon FD lenses, and am eager to use them on my GH3.

  Hey Craig, if you are referring to the speed booster adapter I bought it directly from Metabone’s website. Here is the link below.

  They are currently out of stock but you can sign up to be notified when they are back in stock on there website. Its worth it.
  
  Thanks!

I have just received the new version of the FD to M43 speed booster and can confirm they have shaved off some of the material around the top so as to allow it to fit onto a EM1. I never owned the older version to compare but on a EM5 the adaptor will not fit with the tripod foot in place as it clips the camera body, not too much of a problem for me but may be for some planning to use super heavy glass and wanting to take the weight off the camera. So far very impressed and looking forward to getting out shooting with it this afternoon and thanks Robert for your review which further persuaded me to part with the cash!
