The adaptation possibility for Pentax K-mount makes the possibility of an Olympus, or Panasonic, 4/3 camera an intriguing idea. I am pretty


I'd test that before spending lots of money on it if I were you. I gathered OM lenses are, with one or two exceptions, not very popular with Olympus E-users. Unless Pentax lenses of that period are vastly superior (which I somehow doubt), they might disappoint on an 4/3's sensor.


OM adaptors and the OM wide-angles are somewhat popular with Canon FF users who can't afford Contax or Leica glass. The 4/3rd's bodies, except for the 5MP E-1, are somewhat unsuited for manual focus. And the crop factor (2x) makes the wide angle on digital use that's common on other bodies somewhat irrelevant (A 24mm becomes a normal).
