Hey, Walt, we really have NO word from Olympus that they are doing this.
Don't forget, this is an alleged computer translation of what was
allegedly on a Japanese camera news site, posted to a discussion list.
This was NOT news on Dpreview, or any site known to be reliable. It was
NOT a release from Olympus. It IS a rumor at this point.

This news causes me to reconsider my negative position relative to 
the E-1.  While I still have no intention of buying one, I might 
go for an E-2, depending on its features and performance and 
whether or not I'm broke by the time it comes to market.

But I would have to have the OM lens adapter in hand at the time 
of purchase.  Considering how wishy-washy Olympus has been 
regarding this thing -- first showing a photograph of it, then 
denying it exists, then saying it will be available only in 
certain countries, and now giving it away to E-1 owners -- the 
thing would have to be lying on the sales counter right in front 
of me before I hand over the plastic to be swiped (or in the box 
from B&H, etc.).  With the willy-nilly marketing practices so far 
for this product, which seem to be influenced by which way the 
breeze is blowing off the Sea of Japan, I wouldn't trust Olympus 
to do tomorrow what they promise today, and I sure wouldn't count 
on being the recipient of any freebie some day in the distant 
future.  Don't piss on my boots and try to tell me it's raining 
more than one time.

Also, this may help shore up the value of certain of our Zuikos.  
I think I just heard my 90/2 Macro creeping up a few dollars.

Walt
