Jan,
I'm not sure what it is, but go look again at the item on John's site at
http://www.zuiko.com/olympus_digital_slr.htm.
The item in question definitely has VERY different sized front and rear
mounting flanges; with the rear flange that looks very similar to the zoom lens
to the right of the body. So what else could it be for, if not an OM-System
mount?
It looks like it has lens elements.
