A quick look on eBay finds adapters for Nikon, Pentax, Contax, M42 and
Leica R, and even an EOS adapter with AE confirm, to connect to a 4/3
camera.

Interesting, especially given that I've got a few Contax-fit Zeiss
lenses. I was under the impression that the only digital camera that
could use those were Canons. Good to know that.

I've had another look on this, and because the 4/3 sensor is a little
smaller, it means the 'flange-back' is such that any legacy lens can be
used, as they all need a small amount of packing to fit correctly.
