It's kind of nice to see there is a new lens mount which can be backwords compatible with older(still current) lens.

As much as I don't think there's a future for the 4/3 lens format from Olympus. I do like the micro 4/3 format which is just a miniture camera without the mirror box. I wish canon would do that. I really like the Contax G2 and would love to have something like that in a digital format. The Contax G2 lens don't permit digital operations due to the lens design, they are made to have the light go at such an angle it wouldn't work so well with the not so flat digital sensor.

Such a same Contax is out. I thought they had some pretty innovative system way back in the day. They where pretty pricey though.

So far in recent history.

RIP Yashica/Contax

RIP Minolta

RIP Konica??

RIP Ricoh?? these are just my predictions.
