I believe the original question was about digital bodies to host OM
lenses, thus I did not mention obsolete and/or obscure non-digital mounts.

See http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/mounts.htm for flange depths.
Pentax Kx mounts, compatable with the *istD, aren't on that list, but
adapters without lenses for M42 to K are available, so I assume the K
mount register distance is shorter and might accomodate an OM adapter,
but I'm not aware of such things being available. I'm not sure where I
read details of the *istD metering, but do recall that it's
functionality was severly limited with MF lenses. Seems like it was more
a marketing thing to make it sound like they support all their old
lenses than real support. Can*n is far better in that regard with MF
lenses and adapters are already available.
