Looks like you have some nice stuff there Terry, what are those, OM-1's or 2's? I'll have to pull my stuff out and take some pictures of it. I still take out my OM-1 every once in a while and set it to a slow shutter speed just to listen to that clock work shutter.Nice work Glenn.
I really miss my Olympus gear, and like you, I would have loved a digital back kit.
Here's my stuff, which I used for 30 years.

When I started my historical research 40 years ago, I had 2 Pentax K1000s and a semi-auto MEF. After shooting several thousand frames of negative, positive, colour, and black and white , they all still work perfectly, but I can't find useful film in southwestern (not quite backwoods) Ontario. I finally allowed myself the luxury of a Nikon D3200 and I use it so seldom that I have to read the manual every time in order to get beyond the '0n' switch. Maybe I shouldn't mention that I could do valve jobs on my cars 40 years ago and now an oil change is daunting. Oh, for a time machine.
Try a lens adapter. Old Glass: How to Use Old Film Lenses with New DSLR CamerasThe company does not get to sell another camera. My complaint is that the digitals will not accept the old lens mount.
I have adapters for both my Olympus E-620 and Lumex GF2 Cameras so I can use my old OM system lenses on them.Try a lens adapter. Old Glass: How to Use Old Film Lenses with New DSLR Cameras
