I am pretty sure you can get these type of adapters, there certainly
isn't any problem with register distance using medium format lenses on a
35mm body.  What you probably end up with though is a completely manual
diaphragm and a pretty "clunky" set up.  Try juggling a Hasselblad body,
80mm lens, body cap, OM body, body cap, compose, focus, stop down,
meter, shoot, etc.  Might be almost usable in a studio.  I figure if you
can afford a Hasselblad system, you can probably afford an 85/2 for your
OM.
