Olympus E-1 & old Zuiko lenses

Does anyone know if the E-1 (and its 4/3 system) will accept "older"
Zuiko lenses, such as the ones used by the venerable OM-1 and OM-2?

Thanks

Jeff,

Thanks for the link. However, under close scrutiny, it seems that the
adapter is for putting larger 4/3 lenses on the OM series. What I am
interested is the opposite: using old Zuiko OM lenses on the new Olympus
E-1 digital camera.

I don't believe so. These are smaller lens with a different light gathering
configuration.

 

According to Camtech http://www.zuiko.com/index.htm there is an adapter that
will be available.

While this is POTENTIALLY good news for Marc...tread cautiously. As of this
time, it is only vaporware. I.E., I wouldn't rush out and put down a lot of
money on another product (E1? perhaps) if this is a real important issue to
you until it is possible to buy one.
