I think that few people will be ultimately happy with the use of a total
manual system. I went from a Pentax Spotmatic to a Nikon F in 1969 in part
because I wanted to get away from stop-down metering. I've had some old
nikkors AI-ed to fit my wife's D70s, and they get good results, but the
handling is not conducive to my style of shooting.
Although the OM lenses might be a good stopgap or fill in for a infrequently
required lens, I wouldn't want to be tied down to using them permanantly.
When I get a digital SLR, whatever one (it could be a Pentax or Sony, just
as easily as a Canikon, depending on how things evolve), I'm not counting on
using my OM lenses as a purchase direction.
