I have t disagree here. If Olympus wants to sell bodies only to present
and former OM users, they will indeed have to produce the adaptor. But I
would suggest that the last thing Olympus, a company far more heavily
into cutting-edge medical, surgical, and scientific equipment wants to
do is encourage labs and surgeons to use old Zuiko lenses on the E-1
body. Don't forget, the company has announced its commitment to produce
4-5 new lenses each year for several years. One would assume they will
be thinking of the markets and uses you mention.

Check out this Page on Adorama look about ten items down and then a
little
farther.   http://www.adorama.net/catalog.tpl
If the link does not work look for camera acessories under the digital
section made by olympus John Gettis

If Olympus wants their E-1 to be adopted by pros and serious amateurs,
they are going to have to make something like an OM adapter (maybe a T
adapter?). Otherwise these users will not be able to use all sorts of
micro, macro, astro, copy, medical, etc. equipment. An OM adaptor would
greatly expand the market, not just to OM lens owners, but amateur
astronomers, medical labs, surgeons, etc. It would be an almost
cost-free way to greatly increase the potential market. Therefore, based
on the last decade's record, I predict they won't do it.
