Title: Panasonic Lumix lenses in Olympus.pm
Post by: Storhaug on November 23, 2010, 05:27:35 PM
I poked around and noticed that Olympus.pm contains several Lumix lenses. Lumix is a Panasonic brand. Is there a reason to have them in Olympus.pm instead of Panasonic.pm?

Yes.  These are the lens codes reported by Olympus cameras.

Both Olympus and Panasonic use the 4/3 lens mount, so the lenses are interchangeable.
