Although they changed the mount it's perfectly possible to use older Olympus lenses - and other fittings too - with a simple adaptor. I believe they provided one free for early E-1 buyers. Unlike some other systems you keep metering in AP and M. There is a certain 'feel' to Olympus DSLRs - I just hope the new top of the range model is'nt too expensive and aimed at the pro Canon/Nikon market, as that would seem to be a wasted effort. What we need is something to match the D200/Fuji S5 sector. The new E-510 looks interesting though.
