Why would that be? Except for a few of the specialised lenses like the
shift's and fisheye's, I can't see someone wanting to invest in manual focus
OM lenses if all they have is a digital body. It's likely that an OM adapter
will not provide automatic stopdown and will likely require the lens to be
stopped down for metering. Very similar to what was done for the Pen F series.
If you've ever used one of these adapters, you'll know how annoying they are
to use. It's nice to have if you already have an investment in the lenses,
but it sure isn't going to make you run out and buy more :-)
But I know what happens now here - in Poland (with 200nemployment.. :)
IF someone buys a camera, let it be a EOS 300 or Pentax autofocus,
first thing he does is to buy a M42 adapter to use MF lenses.
Even if this mean he will need to make a stopdown metering, manual focus
and so on.. :)
