[Leica] Leica R lenses and Olympus E-510

[jhnichols at bellsouth.net (Jim Nichols)]

Jim,

I ordered an E-510 and lens today from B&H.  From what I have read, it 
should do fine with an R to 4/3 adapter if you understand that you have to 
use stop-down metering and set everything manually.

You might look at the last posting of photos that Nathan put up. He was 
using a Leica lens on his 4/3 Oly, if I recall correctly.
