Micro 4/3" Canon Live Lens?


Add caption
There has been a lot of hype that a few companies would be producing a 4/3" to Canon EF mount with lens communication (specifically Birger Engineering).  While I haven't found them yet, I did spot this adapter sitting on an AF100 at the Panasonic section.  It looks like a Live Lens controller from Red Rock Micro, which powers and controls the aperture on any EF lens, originally designed for their M2e/M3 adapters.  I don't know if it powers the IS in those lenses or passes through lens data to the camera, but it's another option to the current line of dumb mounts and external aperture bladed adapters.
