As a technician at Olympus, we often did not know about a new product at
Olympus, until one came in for repair.
You can expect canned form letters when asking about new products that
aren't selling yet.

Subject: SV: [OM] New E-1
I sent a mail to Olympus Denmark to ask about the possible adapter for OM
lenses.
I got the answer that such a thing is technically possible, but that Olympus
has chosen not to produce such a product, because photo lenses will not have
the high quality needed for the new digital system.
I hope there is still hope in spite of this answer - being able to mount my
350/2.8 or the 180/2 on a E-1 would certainly be a nice thing (except that I
probably would have to sell one of those to get money to buy the E-1 - and a
new PC, printer, software etc.).
