OM-77-AF (also called OM-707) does. But it is not a great camera. More or
less comparable to a Nikon N-2020. The real pro Olympus autofocus was
designed but not put into production, they say. Anyway if you can get a
cheap used OM-77 you will be able to use all your manual focus lenses on it
too. There is (was) a set of Olympus AF-OM lenses from 24mm to 210mm,
asfaik. The good Olympus autofocus SRLs are not OMs, but ISs, and their
lenses are not interchangeable. The two new IS models for sale nowdays are
both affordable and realable. If you need/like autofocus they may be a good
choice.
