Thanks for the update, Carlos. Too bad in a way. We'll see if Olympus does
anything for us lingering, dwindling OM Zuiko loyalists. My bets are on C*non
and the Tokyo OM-EOS adapter.

I'm not sure, but I don't think so. Working distance of K-mount lenses is
quite close to that of the Zuikos: 45.46mm for K, vs. 46.00mm for OM --
that's 0.54 mm, too little room. On the other hand, EOS working distance is
just 44.00 mm, which gives a full 2 mm clearance.
To make things worse, the diameter of the K mount is not much larger than
the OM (48.5mm vs 47.4mm). I've got no EOS camera, but I've heard that it's
mount has a rather large diameter, which helps the design of any adapter.
