So they say if you use the adapter, they may decide it voids the warranty on
your camera? Rubbish!

>> Hello,

>> Thank you for contacting Olympus Imaging Australia consumer products

>> Many Thanks for your feedback on Olympus products. Your feedback has been
>> passed to all relevant departments.
>>
>> Some old film based lenses may be able to attach to Olympus professional
>> digital SLR cameras through the use of a lens adapter mount. However such
>> products are not compatible with the digital camera body in that they
>> will not
>> conform to or achieve the quality expected by the E-System in many
>> photographic
>> situations. Indeed there may be a number of technical problems associated
>> with
>> using such an adapter. As such, Olympus Australia has no plans to
>> introduce and
>> supply such a mount adapter. If such a product is purchased and used with
>> the E
>> series then Olympus Australia may review its position regarding warranty
>> on the
>> camera used. In addition a number of other technical reasons exist that
>> might
>> hamper the camera's performance using such an adapter
>>
>> -AF not available
>> -Only pre-set aperture metering may be available
>> -Only A mode (Aperture priority mode) is available, but AE is not
>> accurate. No f indication on the body.
>> -Distance indicator on the lens may not be accurate
>>
>> If you have any further inquiries please do not hesitate to contact us.
