Will Leica/Pan D Series Lenses work with Olympus?

I am thinking of buying an Olympus E-410 4/3 camera as a back up (take anywhere) to my M8.

Will the new Leica/Panasonic D lenses work with this camera?

As the aperture on the Leica lenses is controlled on the ring I don't quite understand how they can work.

I would also be interested to know if, with an adapter, the Leica R lenses can work?

 

Thanks

The Leica D lenses work with any 4/3 camera. Aperture is controlled on the body, through whatever button or knob usually controls aperture on lenses without an aperture ring.

And........there are adapters floating around on Ebay for R lenses to 4:3 mounts.

I've used the 14-50 on my Olympus bodies with no problem whatsoever.

YES the D lens work perfectly on my Girlfriends 4:3 E1 camera. I am having a hard time not loosing it entirely for the build in IS which ALSO works on the Olympus camera.!
