Hello folks! thanks for the heads-up Jono, I do have these forums on my favourite's list, and revisit every day or so...
I took the E-400 as the next logical step up from the Panasonic LX1, in the endless balancing act between image quality, portability and flexibility.
The Hexanon AR fit lenses can be modified to fit the 4/3rd mount by removing the auto-aperture leaver, and adding a spacing ring.
Scroll down this page for the best conversion method I've seen so far :

Amin is correct - you need a KatzEye split prism focusing screen ideally, and you have to accept the short telephoto range for shallow dof shots. I find that acceptable though, for portraits like these :
E-400, Hexanon 57mm f1.2 @f1.2
The Hexanon 40mm f1.8 pancake is very sharp, and the most compact option - very close to the size of the Sigma DP1, but of course 80mm EFL. The E-400 Kodak CCD is pretty special too...
Some example shots :
and here's a shot taken by my son... just gave him the E-400 set to f5.6 and ISO 800
All we need is for Olympus to give us a 14mm f2.8 prime lens!
Kind Regards
Brian
