All this shows is Olympus' right to patent applications. This would be a very interesting lens for video applications on 43rds lenses due to the loud AF mechanisms, and it would also possibly create better OIS for video, hence that would be its most obvious function.

I think for most people doing video seriously AF is all but irrelevant.

I think that with all the resources being pushed at on sensor PDAF, sony's SLT technology and such, that to many filmakers at this level (not cameraman) it may be a bit more useful than your "most" would seem to suggest. People seriously doing video may very well not be using a DSLR... However the OIS properties of this adapter do add value, wouldnt you agree?

Of course I agree, and I do use AF while video on occasion, though manual focus is a far better option . A number of notable videographers already use the high end SHG lenses , in fact many fully manual lenses are popular in the serious digital productions . As a user of both video equipped DSLR's and mFT , I think that AF or lack of AF is but one of the many failings of DSLR's as video cameras.
