Hi Scott
I know there have been made a few AF-lenses for manual bodies. The Oly
35-70 for the OM 30 was one of them. I have not seen any of those, though.
And if they are slow, I think they are of little use. AF needs to be pretty
fast to be of any use.
Actually, I have an OM707 with a 28 mm and the 35-70 mm zoom. I have not
tried it yet. Though this camera was a turkey, it might be good enough for
some purposes, if your demands are not too big.
Yours, Lars
