I have a few Olympus lens that I'd like to mount on my X-E1. Suggestions on an adapter would be appreciated.

I'm in the same boat. Should one avoid the cheap eBay adapters?

Most of my Alt lenses, including Oly, are adapted to my EOS cameras. I use a Kipon EOS to X adapter from eBay to mount them on my X-Pro 1. It works very well.

If you want to use a dedicated OM to X adapter, I think the Kipon OM to X would be a good choice. That's what I would get (see eBay item 330708960482).

OTOH, you can also get a Kipon OM to X tilt adapter (item 120978402098). Of course, it might not be as 'solid' as the straight-up adapter. Anyway, I prefer to use my FF cameras for tilt-shift photos.

Here's photos of my Oly 85/2 and SMC Pentax-M 135/3.5 lenses, on my X-Pro 1, with the Kipon EOS to X adapter.

(looks like I should clean the finder window. )
