I'm not sure that I'd go back to that dealer, as he is obviouly severely
limited in his knowledge of the E-System and what's going on in the real world.
I bet he'd c*ap in his pants if you told him that you could also buy adapters
to mount Nikkor, Canon FD, Pentax M42, Leica R, or Yashica/Contax lenses on
that E-1.
Also, did you tell him that the FourThirds adapters are FREE from Olympus
distributors?
