Robert Monaghan's Third party Lens Mount Page says there was such a lens mount system, the Y-S mount. There aren't many details, such as which bodies mounts were made for, on the site <http://medfmt.8k.com/third/mounts.html>. There is a list of lenses <http://medfmt.8k.com/third/mounts.html#ys>, which include a Sigma 16/2.8. However, the Y-S mount was for MF, mechanical auto aperture cameras and this lens has the electronic connections for some autofocus Maxxum bodies, so it may or may not be adaptable to OM, but finding an adapter would be an 'interesting' exercise, if such a thing exists.

From an Ebay item (2961046267), it looks like Sigma made a line of lenses similar to the Tamron Adaptall. Does anyone know the extent of that line?

Did they make an Olympus OM mount for them?
Was it just a T-mount?

Was this a stop-down lens?
