Steve,

I'm new at the DSLR game, having received my Oly E-510 today, battery still 
charging.  From what I have read, the IS only works with adapters that have 
a chip attached that allows one to "fake out" the camera by inputting the 
lens FL manually.  The chip is glued to the inside surface of the adapter 
and has contacts that mate with the camera contacts at the bottom of the 
lens mount.  Someone else may have better info.
