Bill. Nice dream. I guess what you are missing is that the use described is not the intended use of the camera. It would not be in Oly, or Canon, or any other camera manufacture’s interest to have their software work for other brand lenses. A hack does sound like a thing to do. Any out-of-work computer programmers out there that want the challenge????

Shouldn't the Oly software be hacked to do it all seamlessly? Am I missing something? All the best, Bill On Mar 22, 2008, at 2:57 AM, Bille Xavier F. wrote: Hello out there!

On the site : HYPERLINK "http://oly43club.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=351"http://oly43club.ru/forum /index.php?showtopic=351 They offer a video which is not too clear except if you understand that the manipulator reprograms the chip to match a certain aperture and focal lens.
