     It's too bad that Olympus did not evolve in the same manner as did Pentax. 
 They went from MF film to AF film by simply embedding the electrical contacts 
into the lens mount flange.  When they went to AF digital, they just made a new 
digital body with the same mount and electrical contacts, and you could use the 
older AF and MF film lenses.

     OTOH, Olympus digital cameras can accommodate more of the older MF film 
lenses than any other brand, and that is a real advantage if you're looking for 
affordable decent MF glass.
