My main concern about hanging a Zuiko (glass & metal) lens on the front of a
typical digital (plastic & maybe a little glass) camera would be the
mechanical
problems experienced by the digital's lens focussing and zooming mechanisms.
Think of those tiny motors and plastic bearing surfaces with a heavy chunk of
metal and glass hanging on the end. What is this going to do for
the life of the
digital camera ?

Very good point. A destroyed zoom/focus mechanism would not be a
great Christmas present. Remember the apocryphal tales of modern
plastic zoom lenses with aluminum foil covered plastic gears. I can't
believe Nikon does not have a simple magnifier that would slip in the
filter holder that would do as well.
