Tokina, Tamron, and Sigma for starters. I didn't read in they intended
to make a universal mount to try and attract the likes of Can*n or Nik*n
towards. There are already some third party add-on lenses for the E-XX
out there now (rumor has it some are actually pretty good too).
Based on the losses Olympus has suffered in digital camera division as
recently posted here, all new product development is a huge gamble. But,
they have created some winners, have a growing following in the digital
world, and this could help them return to being a player in the
professional camera business.
