The answer is "yes", but at this stage only for 51mm focal length lenses -
the f/l has to be burned into the chip. The chip is available "bare-bones"
or fitted to an M42-4/3rds adaptor. There are plans to release further
focal lengths in due course, and also to release ready-to-use adaptors for
OM and N, but no sign of when.
I have had a good email interchange with the producer, and have a bare bones
chip on order, will report back...

Hmm. I wonder if it could be used to fool the in-camera IS to work too.
