Although it was designed for the OM-F it will work on the other OM 
bodies.  On the OM-F, though, you can attach it to a winder using the 
M.In-Focus Cord and the shutter will fire when the subject is in focus.

You are right, though, that it's not a particularly useful lens.  It's way 
heavy (even without batteries), slow, and not very accurate in low-light 
conditions.

Hope that helps...

Regards,

Chris

P.S.  That doesn't meant that I don't *want* it, though!  :-)
