     Actually, I would seriously consider going that route as I'm far more 
comfortable with MF lenses and using adapter rings, and I have a better than 
average selection of MF lenses at my disposal.  I'm not the least bit 
interested in AF lenses.  Period.  

     What is available out there that has the basic features of the E-4x0/5x0?  
I don't need any live view or other over-the-top features, just a basic manual 
digital camera body with 8MP or better that will work with the u4/3 mount.
