(FT3) Olympus patent rumors: adapter with integrated wide lens and adapter with SWD auto focus.


    Just received an interesting email:

    “Got this first from omuser.com and they linked to http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=249&t=1417073&last=17479202 which has another link of the original Japanese post. It is about 2 new Olympus patents, it included the patent numbers but don’t know the validity.

    1st patent is an M43 adapter that have an internal wide angle lens which can do the following:
    it will half the original focal length of the legacy lens, then when used on M43 for the 2x focal length, the result will be exactly 1x the original legacy lens focal length.

    2nd patent is to add an electronic contect to the adapter above which will somehow uses the SWD to control auto focus.

    I don’t know much of the details, as the original Chinese translation of the Japan original is very weak as well. I am just translating what I know.”

    Editors note: If Olympus really patented it this doesn’t mean that they will bring it on market. But we can say there is a fair chance that will happen.

    P.S.: Thanks A.!
