Isn't it curious that they use an ".org" site to tout the system when it
is clearly a commercial venture. It's not like this standard is a boon

Olympus dropped the free MA-1 adapter in favour of the $150 cdn MF-1 OM
adapter http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_se...f1instcomp.pdf

It was free until the E-500 was announced then it became an accessory.
