Mount conversion of OM Zuiko to Sigma has been done with "simple tools" (but
most likely irreversibly)

But that the above has been done suggests that substitution of OM mount for
the SA mount on the Sigma camera would also be possible - although perhaps
not with "simple tools".

I noticed this too. If they made other mounts available, I would also be
very interested indeed. Sigma has some great lenses, but they also have some
less-then-great ones, and quality control (and build quality) definitely
suffers. But at ~$2000 this camera is interesting. I can't believe they
tried their luck with the ~
$9000 pricing...
I don't know what the flange-sensor distance of the Sigma mount is, but I am
assuming it can't accommodate OM lenses + adaptor?
