I was too into OMs way back then to know :-)
By preference I'd be a luddite still be using the OM4 if I could focus the
thing. I do love the accessibility of digital though; Oly just did too
little too late for me to buy in.

Well Canon did really when they went from FD mount to EOS. In fact you
can put almost any lens on an EOS (I've used Zuiko, M42 and Pentacon P6
lenses) EXCEPT an FD/FL lens! You need an expensive adaptor with an
optical element. Nikon's generation change was more gradual but I
suspect that F lenses aren't too functional on a D body or even an F5,
I think. The brilliance of Canon was to design a really clever mount in
1988.
