question about olympus lenses Anonymous
http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/lens/dea/products/lens/index.asp

okay, on this page from the Olympus website, we have the zuiko digital lenses

there's no special category on any of them except the "grade" and the ED tag for the special element

all of these lenses are for digital only, right? as in, they can't mount on olympus film slrs, right?

but can you mount old olympus film lenses on the digital slrs? OM mount i think?

No you cannot mount these new lenses on a film OM. Not sure about the other way around though, but you'd be getting your lens' focal length x2 on each of the film lenses.

why aren't they just naming them with their equivalent focal lengths to avoid confusion

you can't mount them on film ever without doing it macgyver style

zuiko digital, dx, ef-s, da, dt, why not just name them the equivalent lenths

you can mount dx on a d3 but it's still giving you 1.5*FL and not the number on the barrel

why the confusion

Because that would be fucking stupid. Think about it.
