This is interesting.
They say the Olympus could supply Sony with lenses whereas Sony could supply Olympus with sensors.
The latter part is no surprise but the first one is I think.
I was always wondering about the lens weakness in the Sony lineups. This seems to be a rather desperate move.

IMO Sony made this move to secure its position as main CMOS supplier to Olympus, that alone will bring profits to Sony. And may be impose SLT technology, or something else that Sony already have.
