Hi Steven,
the 38mm and 20mm macro lenses can not be used directly on the OM-body. They
can't even be mouted to the bellows unless you use an adapter. This is the
PM-MtoB-mount. AFAIK this stands for PhotoMacrographic-Macro-to-Bellows. There
are lots of these cryptic abbreviations in the microscope catalogues e.g.
PM-LSD-W is an entirely drug-free adjustable light-source for low-mag
microscopes and (you guessed it) 'photo-macrography'.
Hope this helps,
Soenke, Hamburg
