As I mentioned in my "Mac World Report" post, the Olympus of America did
not deny the existance (a huge step forward) and indicated they probably
will knuckle under and release the adapter here--no promises made, but a
very positive statement. I did tell him that my Zuiko 350/2.8 works
*great* on my EOS 10D with the Kindai adapter (for example:
http://motorsportvisions.com/acth04_2/pages/IMG_7072.htm ). Aside from
the 300/2.8, the E-1 lenses are pretty reasonable. I'm not sure if I
could be swayed back (from Can*n) now, but the adapter becoming
available would at least get me to consider it and told him as much.
FWIW, I was not the only OM fan pounding on him asking the same question
there either. I'm glad I got my adapter from Kindai before the price
started inching up though. Back to quietly lurking...
