I have two questions: 1) How does one register to the Olympus list? 2)To your knowledge is there an attachment ring that permits mounting Zuiko lenses on Leica-R and vice versa? Regards, Francois Brunelle >Ashburn VA 1) You can find information on how to register to the Olympus list from: http://zuiko.sls.bc.ca/~swright/olympuslist.shtml The Olympus list is very informative and active. The cause of the similarity with the LUG is apparent: the Oly list discusses cameras and lenses of almost the same quality as Leicas. Mr. Maitani, the chief designer of Olympus, was an admirer of the Leica M and obviously tried to reach the same high quality in the OM-cameras. 2) I remember seeing a picture of a OM camera with a Leica R lens mounted, but I do not know if there are any attachmentrings available. regards, Mikael
