Thank you for your inquiry.
One of the major features of the E-1 camera is that it is the world's
first all-digital professional SLR system. This means that the camera
body and lenses were specifically built to handle light to much more
exacting manner than a film camera requires. Although the OM lenses are
very accurate, they are not optimized for digital photography. An OM
lens adapter is certainly possible but we did not want to offer it
because it would compromise the performance of the E-1.
Additionally, the new Zuiko Digital lenses are "intelligent". That
means that lens telemetry and other information is recorded with the
photographic data. Using this information, there are functionality
advantages that can be realized with digital photography that was not
possible with film camera equipment. We will soon offer an in-depth
technical whitepaper on the advantages of the Zuiko Digital lenses.
This whitepaper will further explain the advantages of using our new
Zuiko Digital lenses.
