Any ideas about how compatible a lens that sets the aperture as opposed
to having it set by the body will be with the Olympus line? My guess
would be that it could be fixed in firmware if Olympus wanted to, but
maybe this is a way of ensuring no interchangeability between the
product lines of the two manufacturers sharing the same standard.
