Not really. An OM digital would have auto diaphram with OM lenses, bring
functionality right up to existing OMs, but with digital output. I'm not
saying there ever will be such a critter, only that it would be
functionally much more complete than using the lenses in stop-down mode.
Now here's a project for somebody, an OM to 4/3 adapter with stop down
mechanism built in. Extra points for tapping into the camera battery for
power, after all there is power going to the electronic lenses. Then
you need to time stop down from the stop down signal sent to digital
lenses. Maybe its all the same connection, power applied when stop down
needed? Doesn't that make it a sort of OM-5?
