This lens has a great reputation -- I don't own it, since I've got
a 50/f1.4 and a 35/f2.8 PC (shift). My understanding is that there
is no passive (i.e. w/o glass elements) Nikon to OLY adapter. AFAIK,
active adapters are, at best, mediocre.

A clean 35/f1.4 isn't cheap ($375-425 for an AI-S version). If you
decide to spend that kind of money, it may be worth tossing another
$200 on a decent Nikon body, e.g. FM (all-manual), or FG, or N2000.

Cheers,
