Chart? :-)

I'd say to try it. As far as I can see you won't hurt anything. Results
may not be good from what Olympus have said. However, I seem to remember
some posts not long after availability of the 4/3 adapter that said
things weren't nearly as bad as Oly intimated.

And I'm not quite as excited.... if I read the chart properly, my 50mm
1.2 will only open to 2.8?  And while I was excited by the though of
using my 65-200 zoom at the race in a couple of weeks, the fact that the
chart shows max f-stop of 8 kinda sucks.  When I need to isolate a
driver in a crowd or pick out a car on a track, f8 just ain't gonna cut
it.

Those of you that have been using the adapter with your OM glass -- do
you ignore the chart?  Or is it, in fact, the truth?
