Re: [OM] Pano heads, was: What E-system lens is indispensable for a micro 4/3 shooter?

Thanks.  The Panosaurus is one I've considered in the past as having 
what I need without bells and whistles.  But I'd forgotten about the 
off-center tripod socket which is partially, but not completely, fixed 
by my ebay aluminum grip.  Does the E-M1 fix this?  It's not something 
I've thought about on the E-M1.
