You're missing a VERY important point here, Winsor - Neither Nikon nor
Canon has designed a line of lenses specifically for use with their
digital bodies; and neither company contends that they have specific
lenses that produce the best images with their DSLRs.

That's not really true. Both Nikon and Canon have lenses "designed for digital" The Canon 24-70 L, the 17-40L, and the 70-200/2.8 L were "designed for digital". They happen to be compatible with 35 mm film bodies, but you can bet they were designed with digital in mind. Moreover the new liitle lens marketed with the 300D was designed as a digital only lens.

Olympus designed
the camera and lenses from the ground up, to be used together, and
contend that using other lenses will produce less than optimal images.
So, again, why would they want people running around getting less than
optimal results with the E-1?

This is what Olympus contends, but you're missing Winsor's point, which is that people are getting *superb* results from the existing line of autofocus lenses for Nikon and Canon D-SLRs. Go to any pro sporting event, concert, or new event see that everyone is shooting with, and what's getting published, both in web and print media.
