One of the reasons something like the Olympus E-PL2 is on my 'next camera' radar is that I'd like to be able to use some of the legacy lenses that I have hanging around. I have several Konica Hexanons and a Minolta or two that would be nice to bring out of retirement. I even have a couple of primes from the original Canonflex that might just work with a FD adapter.
