Re: Can you handle the facts?

Thank you for your response, Guy.

I’m amused (not really) at the number of Google hits directing me to web pages making the simplistic claim that all Micro Four-Thirds lenses are “100% cross-compatible”.

It’s just fantastic that older Olympus bodies without credible in-body image stabilization can’t use OIS unless the lens has its own switch to turn on stabilization (while IBIS is turned off).
