[OM] Re: using 35mm lense with 4/3 dlsr

[Chuck Norcutt]

I think the technical details are more like Olympus makes less money if 
you continue to use old lenses.  They had to be dragged kicking and 
screaming to release the OM to 4/3 adapter.

To be fair, ZD lenses are newer and undoubtedly better. They also 
communicate with the body so that lens specific parameters can be 
handled.  They're probably made to resolve 10-12 MP on the 4/3 sensor. 
But the OM lesnes compare very well when they only have to handle 5 MP 
on the E-1.  Maybe 8 MP on the later cameras as well.
