lens question

No, not a big deal... I just bought a canon FD to G1, GH1, GF1 PEN E-P1, E-P2 micro 4/3...this is good to work with all canon FD lens?

yes, with an FD -> M4/3 adapter. you'll lose autofocus. not sure if that's a big deal for you though.

Canon FD lenses are not autofocus...save for a few rare, and not very good and bizzare AF Canon FD lenses that have a separate brain and motor mechanism for autofocus...which incidentally, because of their design, will autofocus on the GH1. Weird, I know.
 
What adapter will control AF on such Canon lens?
The once I have seen have no elecronics in them at all.
 
None. There is no common protocol for communication between lenses and camera bodies. All manufacturers have their own proprietary systems.
