Uh, by the way: it's FTL, not FLT. Other replies inserted:

Yes, it is the same mount. Olympus FTL lenses will work on other cameras, and
other lenses will work on the Olympus FTL body. The Olympus lenses include a
locking stop down lever for use with other cameras, which do not handle auto
diaphragm lenses.

It could be the 50/1.8, or possibly 50/1.4 ( I believe there was one) Rumor has
it that a  number of the original OM series lenses are FTL lenses with a new
mount.

Unless the lens happens to be a 28mm. Those are rare. When I posted to the list
a few years ago that I had seen one in a pawn shop, it took Gary Schloss almost
three seconds to reply back.
