Encouragingly enough, Paul, I'm noticing a small but developing market for
just such a thing. Notably, in England and Germany there are tiny companies
that offer to modify just about anything camerawise to fit just about
anything lenswise.

Wish it were so, but there's no indication that Olympus is concerned
about backward compatibility.
For now it appears Olympus plans to stick with the ZLR formula until
they can incorporate something like Canon's image stabilization
technology into Zuikos for the digital format.
I'm trying to get a sense of whether Olympus actually intends to
ever again be truly competitive among the ranks of pro cameras in
any format. Honestly, I just don't believe they do. It appears
they're satisfied with a share of the "prosumer" market. (Ugh, hate
that term as much as the term "dramedy" for funny dramas, or
comedies with some drama, or whatever the hell it is. Sounds like a
camel.)
I'm figuring as much, but on the other hand, I'm also figuring that once
there's a body with a full-frame sensor in it, the rest is just a matter
for some smart machinist...
