Over the next few weeks I will be reviewing Image stabilized OM lenses with the Olympus E3 Thanks to firmware update 1.1 . The firmware has a list of updates.
This is a what it says it covers
[ E-3 ]
Enabled use of the Image Stabilization function with non-Four Thirds System interchangeable lenses by inputting a specific focal length. (that is some of these)

-
Matched the rotation of the dial on the rear of the Power Battery Holder HLD-4 and the movement direction of the AF target.
-
Increased the number of storable still pictures by improving the battery check when the Power Battery Holder HLD-4 is attached.
-
Focusing now stops immediately when the AF start button (AEL/AFL or Fn button) is released.
-
Corrected the phenomenon where the flash control caused an under exposure while using bounce flash at short distances with the FL-50R or FL-36R Electronic Flash.
-
Improved selection and prioritization of the central 5 ranging points when shooting in C-AFmode and Dynamic-single Target mode.(this info was copied from olympus’ web page from this link http://www.olympus.co.jp/en/support/imsg/digicamera/download/software/firm/e1/)
I have been lent three lens to use to test the IS and it’s abilities.
Ken Norton one of the organizers and founders of Zone 10 website
(http://zone-10.com/cmsm/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1)
was kind enough to let me use his lenses Just so I could try and share my findings with you.
So if you would like to thank him drop by their site take a look at the wealth of information they have
and that is growing weekly. You can also catch up to him and a lot of other very informative and helpful folks over on their forums that can be found here ZX Forums
Keep checking back I hope to have the first set of testing and part one of the review up by next week.
Thanks for stopping by.
