Its a manual lens! All you need to do is take the Nikon version, add a <$1 Fmount to 4/3 adaptor and you have a 4/3rds lens! All the old Zeiss Nikon lenses were also 4/3rds as all were also manual. Only just recently did Zeiss offer Aperture control on the F mount series. Focusing on this lens should be easy on a E3, I curently use Nikon 50mm F1.2 with out trouble.
