Can I assume you are talking about newly designed/licensed/built >Leica lenses and NOT Existing R lenses? New lens, with 4/3 mount, see http://tinyurl.com/j3gt5 >2. Can R lenses be adapted to fit this new camera/standard? Yes with adapter. No autofocus, manual stop down exposure only. Adapters available at Cameraquest. >3. If so, can I assume they will function in the same manner as a Leica >R lens on a Canon digital? (stop-down metering). See above. >4. Sounds like the imaage stabilization is built into the lens rather >than the body. Yes the ois is in the lens. >Is this correct about the Panasonic/Leica DSLR's? It's not in the dslr but in the lens. afaik only the Konica-Minolta DSLR's had an image stabilization system in the body (good idea, let's hope this patent wil not be buried) >And does Olympus have this feature? No the Oly lenses actually do not have any image stabilization system. Didier
