My guess is (contrary to current published reports) we
will be able to use our current Zuikos on the new
digital camera. The reason is that if Olympus
endeavors to make a truly professional or
semi-professional camera it will be compatible with
microscopes and telescopes. If this is true, then it
is just a matter of an adapter. There probably won't
be diaphragm automation, etc. but they will be usable.
The good/bad news is that all your wide angles will
become telephotos.
