William,
My OM4 Ti will not accept the SIgma OM mount 8mm f/4. The OM 4Ti users
manual recommends to only Zuiko lenses. I'm sure I could try some surgery
on the Sigma OM mount but haven't tried it. There's a few different
tolerances when I compare to the OEM mount. Maybe lock pin length? Don't
know about other independents.
