I looked into the Metabones two years ago but several Zuiko's were listed
as not compatible with it. Some of my favourites actually (of course), and
they acknowledged the list might be incomplete (I was reading: you can test
it and we like to hear from you). However, I can't find it anymore, so
maybe the newer design has improved in compatability with OM Zuiko's.
But is there a APS camera with sensor stabilisation? I decided on an A7 and
am very happy with it and my Zuikos (and.. and.. oeps), but I really like
it that I can have a mk2 one day and get IBIS.
I wouldn't buy a Fuji as OM back for that reason alone.
