Actually, there's another way to get a digital camera that takes OM lenses.
A digital camera need not have an SLR mirror. You can view the digitized
image for focusing.
Because of that, why doesn't somebody make a digital camera that takes *all*
major brands of SLR lenses, via adapters? The market, especially for
scientific photography, might be quite ample.
SBIG astronomical CCD cameras have this attribute, if I recall correctly.
So does Leica's unusual S1 studio camera (it produces a 5000 x 5000-pixel
image, but takes 3 minutes to do it by moving a linear CCD across the field,
so it's only good for still lifes).
