Certainly don't bother me. As I've posted before, most recently in the last few days, I've never believed there would be a convienient way to use OM lenses other than, I hope, in stop down metering and shooting mode. If the new system meets my needs, I plan on buying primary lenses from those designed for it. I would like an adapter for the other, less often used lenses and accessories.

On the other hand, there is still a trickle of posts from hopeful souls who hope that their OM lenses will fit and there has been much past speculation on the subject in the past. So I partly passed on the post to further settle the matter. Mostly, however, I passed it on as an indication that there are actually pre/early production cameras out there being used. Whatever it is, it exists!

The second as yet unanswered question is what the back focus is, and thus how easy an aftermarket adapter will be if Oly doesn't do one.

nobody with any brains!  (Sorry for the flame, it's not directed at Moose, but 
I just couldn't resist.)

The big question is when is the adapter going to be released?  if ever?
