Olympus Micro Four Thirds on a Four Thirds body

I've been looking at some of the Micro Four Thirds system lenses such
as the "M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm f2.8" pancake lens used for the PEN
cameras. I wanted to mount it on my E-Series DSLR. I phoned Olympus
tech support and the guy was trying to tell me that I needed an
adapter to mount a regular lens on a Micro body, but, that I wouldn't
need an adapter to go the other way. Understandably this didn't make a
lot of sense to me, so I asked him to show me a webpage on his site
that demonstrated this. The tech then proceeded to tell me that the
website had changed, and he would need to put me on hold while he
found the new information. 30 minutes later, I'm fairly sure his
Bejewelled score on Facebook has gone through the roof.

I did my own research and found out that the Micro Four Thirds
definitely DOES NOT mount directly to the Four Thirds system. The
Micro system is 6mm smaller and needs to be set closer to the imager
than on the regular Four Thirds system.

Had I not listened to my own logic, I would have dropped almost $400
on a lens that I would not be able to use. They don't make a mount to
my knowledge nor would it really be possible considering the offset to
the imager.

Failure Olympus customer support, epic failure.

How do you pronounce Jysk?

Often times our customers ask how to pronounce our name. So to set the record straight, here it is: JYSK (yi-sk). We honestly don't mind what you call us, as long as you call us again and again.
