AFAIK, that was the now announced extension tube. Still a pity we
probably won't be able to utilize old glass, even if it isn't calculated
to make the light hit the sensor at or close to right angle. Marketing
Mistake imho (as other's I've pointed out ad nauseam, I guess ;-)

When the E-1 system was first shown last year, there was an OM-System adapter shown with the other pieces. It was quickly removed from the system photograph and hasn't reappeared nor been acknowledged by Olympus that I've heard of.

Subject: [OM] Old OM lenses and E-1

Dear All,
Do anyone knows whether it is possible to use the old OM lenses on the E-1
digital SLR. If the answer is negative, are there any reason to stick with
Olympus? The other brand names allow the use of their lenses across the 35
mm and digital SLRs.
