I previously didn't know it was possible to get a replacement mount for
OM to Nikon. It looks very interesting. Who knows, maybe I'll go Nykon
on the next iteration. :-) I've always liked the electronic grid
display in the viewfinder that Canyon doesn't have.
I note that lenses identified as having a 2-part bayonet (28/2.8, 40/2.8
and 50/1.8) don't lose their DOF scale in the conversion. But it also
looks as though the 28/2.8 mount isn't available yet.
