Olympus clarifies: it is about 4/3 lenses, not a new 4/3 body

I am not against an adaptor (in fact I would like one for my E-M5 and 4/3 SLR lenses) and I have no reason to think it is not possible (any Sony patents would probably just require a different approach to the goal rather than preventing it entirely.)

I am just saying that the comments from Olympus are about a camera body that provides good AF, not an adaptor.

Smaller lenses, better in low light, more telephoto reach:
you can have any two at one time.
