My main concern about hanging a Zuiko (glass & metal) lens on the front of a
typical digital (plastic & maybe a little glass) camera would be the mechanical
problems experienced by the digital's lens focussing and zooming mechanisms.
Think of those tiny motors and plastic bearing surfaces with a heavy chunk of
metal and glass hanging on the end. What is this going to do for the life of
the
digital camera ?
