My Zuikos can't get into that equation, alas.  I know contemporary Oly
doesn't care about that, but they must be considering some way to get
to FF.  If mirrorless cameras are the future, why wouldn't that be a
great new way for them to introduce FF?  Along with a line of f2
primes (OK, I'm really getting into the Christmas spirit now...)
