This particular lens will work on any OM body. Take a look at the housing
underneath the lens barrel. That is where, I presume, the autofocus motor
resides and also the buttons that the user has to press to control the
focus. I think you may be correct that this is a fairly uncommon lens, as I
haven't seen very many on E-bay either. However, I don't think its that
sought after. If I ever have a chance to pick up a decent example for a good
price, I'll probably do it just for the sake that this is an unusual lens in
the Zuiko line-up. However, in this case, I think the price will end up
being more than what I'd be willing to pay.
Just my $0.02,
