Leica M-M4/3 adapter

I don't want to use the Olympus E-PL1 as an everyday camera. But it is interesting to test it with some manual focus lenses.

So I bought a Leica M-M4/3 adapter (marked as FOTGA):

I chose this adapter type because with additional adapters I have, it is possible to use almost all my lenses. And this adapter was one of the cheapest adapters for M4/3.

The Olympus E-PL1 with the Staeble-Werk Choro R 35/4.5 lens mount with this adapter + the Leica M-M39 adapter + the M39-M39 adapter:

Unfortunately, this adapter is too short. The expected length is 27.8-19.25=8.55 (mm), but the actual length is about 7.8mm. So the focusing is far beyond infinity. I use it as is for testing, but for real-world tasks, the adapter model is not a good choice.
