Doesn't the adaptor ring come in the camera package?

Nope. They sell it, for what seems like an extortionate price for a
static piece of metal (about $200, IIRC). I've also heard that you may
be able to get one for free for the asking, if you've recently purchased
an E-series camera, but that's not publicized anywhere.

Yes, that's it. I've read a few forum posts where the OPs noted that they
had requested the adaptor from Oly and received it.

I agree. One of the older lenses that I picked up was the 50mm f1.8. I
eventually traded it in (along with the 50mm Macro that I got) for the 50 f2
macro lens.

I originally had the E1 and then got an E300 as a second body. At the time
you
had to fill out a form on Olympus' website to be listed as interested in the
adapter.
I got it for free.
