I snooped around Adorama and failed to see any such thing (Pentax screw to
Olympus). If you know of such a critter, could you further enlighten
me????? Thanks,
Jim

Subject: Re: [OM] Options for Screw-mount lenses on OM bodies
There are adapters available. Adorama has them. Because of the differing
flange distances, the adapter has a slight negative element to maintain
infinity focus. This is not a brilliant setup.

Someone has asked me if they can mount a 42mm screw-mount lens on an OM
body. I don't know of an option. Does anyone know of a way to make this
happen?
Also, are there any other options for mounting non-Olympus mount lenses on
an OM body?
I'm assuming that auto-diaphragm would be non-functional in most cases, but
am I wrong?
