Here is an update to the Dandelion chip (a convo between me and another person, from another forum):
\"
\"Well I had a conversation via email with the guy Viktor (most likely Viktor Lushnikov the developer of the chip) from Russian site filmprocess.
He is a man of little words, bu I think he understood me OK.
He stated that it should work fine. It works very well on his E-P2.
He also said he is not planing on getting the E-M5 cause it is very expensive in Russia and he cant get one of testing. If would send him the body he could test and correct the error if there is one. (not gonna happen, I love it to much, and shipping from Croatia to Russia must be killer)
I asked if he could test it on any newer Olympus camera cause maybe the new ones are different somehow. Hi didn\'t answer that. :-/
He went on to imply that I possibly did something wrong. But since it looks to me I mounted the chip flawlessly it makes no sense for me to try and mount it again.
I will order another copy and try again. maybe this one was bad somehow...
I am grateful for his answers, but unfortunately they don\'t help much to resolve this.

Ya, he just replied back to my email and told me similar things - they are very expensive and rare in russia. And, that the best/simplest way to correct/fix/update this, is if I/someone sent him over an OM-D body and he said it wouldn\'t take too long. But, I am obviously a bit hesitant to do so, since my OM-D is finally coming in this week and of course I would be too excited to just send over my brand-new-camera I am prolly going to instantly love and have been anticipating and waiting to finally get, hehe
I know many might feel the same way, hesitant to send over and lend their beautiful OMD... but maybe there\'s someone out there that\'s willing to lend him an OMD for a little bit. Most likely not me though, as this is my only, singe camera in my possession....perhaps someone whom owns multiple/many cameras, collectors or a photo/camera-blog writer, like Huff or something?
So...if there\'s someone out there, here, that is willing to lend him your camera, so he can fix the Dandelion chip and update it and make it compatible with the OM-D, please email him:
..whomever lends him your OM-D, will be a hero amongst us and we all would owe you a humongous debt of gratitude....probably hundreds, if not thousands, of OM-D users for time to come.\"\"
