This from the Leica list.

At least we know where the OM-System 24 shift lenses are going.

        A very useful alternative to the 28mm Super-Angulon PC lens is the
Olympus 24mm f/3.5 PC lens.
        I have one in an R-mount. Any competent repair man can convert it.
After all, it is a manual lens. Remember you do not have any inboard
metering. The shift range is the same on both lenses, I think.
        I find it more useful than the 28mm and stopped down to f/5.6-8
excellent. Also, when I had the lens converted, I had one of the B&W filters
removed and a CC30M installed in its place to correct for flourescent
lights. I think the 24mm and conversion would still cost less than a 28mm
Super-Angulon.
