We heard about this new few days ago, it is very disappointed if they
don't make a lens adapter for our Zuikos. Even the final image quality
is a bit poorer (as they said Zuikos are not design for CCD that need
a parallel light beam), I still want them to be able to use. I think
their new CCD is 4/3 inch, which is not too small as compared to film.
