Aram. I wonder how these Russians got the 4/3 wiring and communication protocol. I asked Leica, Sigma and Olympus here in France but all these guys were sealed lips! Of course it is in the interest of the 4/3 consortium to let out the information so some "entrepreneurs" build a "hack". Happy Easter!---------------------------------Xavier F.

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????
