Bonjour Philippe:

Thank you!

Yes... with the 2X crop factor the R-fisheye and R-19mm are useless. But 
the 60mm macro becomes a 120mm which does make it easier on my backside. 
  Haven't tried the 105mm macro or the other lenses but expect good results.

I have the 28-70 (56-140) zoom on it today... even with this lens I 
should get decent photos 'cause the camera is certainly using the sweet 
spot in the center.

The biggest con with the E-510 so far is that it's certainly not as 
intuitive to use as my Pentax isDS or K10D.

Jim
