Japanese camera manufacturer Cosina Voigtlander has introduced Nikon F and Pentax K mount adapters for Micro Four Thirds cameras. This adds on to the many third-party adapters available for use with Micro Four Thirds shooters such as the recently announced Olympus E-P1.

Shutterbugs who have old lenses lying around at home may finally be able to put them to use. The last we counted, there are 13 adapters on the market which allow you to attach even the 1950s Leica screw-mount glasses to Micro Four Thirds cameras.

This goes to show how much emphasis the industry is putting on the new imaging standard, and with such strong support we are quite sure it will go far. For now, that space is occupied by only Olympus and Panasonic. Will major players such as Canon and Nikon join the fray soon?

This is great! But could you post info on the Leica Screw Mount adapter(s)? I could definitely use one - good, small lenses! Thanks, Leigh
