This has been a dilemma for me too. I haven't made the DSLR plunge yet but
would really like to use my extensive Olympus macro system with whatever I
buy. The instant feedback would be really valuable for macro work. /jmac

I have been looking for reasons not to move along with
Olympus to a digital SLR. But I am weakening.
Like many others, I have longed for a digital body that
would allow me to get some use from my film lenses. In
fact, it would have been the deciding factor a year or even
six months ago. That thinking lead me somewhat reluctantly
to N*kon. I have a more modest investment in N*kkor lenses
than Zuikos, but a couple are very good and with the 1.6x
factor, the 24mm and 55/2.8 micro would be quite usable.
The 2x factor that Olympus gives us, plus the need for an
adapter, where the N*kon can take the lens natively, seemed
to militate against Olympus.
