Mike,

would it be possible to take the alpha mount out and replace it with
an OM-mount?
(that would do away with the horrid orange ring as well :). It should
just be 6 screws?
I suppose that sticking out lever can be hidden inside the extra
thickness of the OM-moun?
YouI wouldn't use AF glass anyway... would you?
