Hi,
43rumors reports with reference to quesabesde that Olympus is not going to develop/release any more FT lenses. The writing for that was on the wall.
Before Nikon, Canon, Sony and Pentax users start grinning, they better think how their systems will handle the swing-mirror to mirror-less transition. Who wants a mirror less body with the lens-mount to sensor distance of a 1959 Nikon F or a 1988 Canon EOS? Give it a few more years and I am sure it is curtains for the (D)SLR.

Not until OVFs and PD-AF in DSLRs have no advantages anymore. Four thirds did not fall into the mirrorless trap, but rather the small sensor format trap.
