Now, to me, that looks like what an adapter (any lens adapter) should be.
Capable of using the camera to it's limits, with just about any lens. The Fuji
engineers deserve a pat on the back. Oly engineers ... take note!

I would suspect a bit of experience would answer that.

The rumour sites have mentioned such a beast coming from Oly. Watch 'kina!

I am encouraged by the fact that Oly have announced that they are working on an
E7... with the electronics/sensor of the E-M5 (OM-D). Personally, I am hoping
not for an E7 that matches my E3 or the E5 in size, but for a mirrored body
more in line with the OM-1. That, with my existing 4/5 lenses & Leica glass,
would be a stellar combination. Add a couple of smaller, "consumer grade"
zooms,and it would become a killer travel camera, too!

Watch Photkina (it's not that far away!) and you might be pleasantly surprised!
If not, perhaps you should change careers, and offer your designs to Oly and
others! ;-)
