I don't think this is going to happen. The lens (& camera) vendors are
talking about a new universal (standard) mount for digital, probably N*k*n
mount. I don't think they are including old lenses in their plans. Even
their some of their old designs are not being carried forward. Why would
they? Someone would have to develop an OM lens to digi camera body adapter
for the OM lenses to work. Also, you would have to select the appropriate
N*k*n or C*n*n algorithm for the lens to be recognized. Seems like too much
trouble for the digi vendors.
