Carlos,
        I've never seen an adapter like this, so I don't know if it truly 
works. However this seller sold an identical item a short while ago. You could 
e-mail the buyer and ask if it works. See here:

Good luck.

Charlie

Dear Olympus Fans,

I have been following the list as of February, when I bought my E-400
DZ kit for 800¤. This is my first post, and I start off by asking for
your help!

Since then, and following a lot of the valuable information shared
on this list, I have been "cherry picking" close to 200¤ of vintage
glass (Sun 28/2,8; Zuiko 50/1,4; Zuiko 50/1,8; Cosina 100/3,5 macro).
I have posted some photos on Flickr:

Yesterday got a M42 lens, a Pentacon 200/4,0 and was looking for an
adapter:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=290132432491

«This is a special mount which can used for ALL Types of Screw Mount
 Lenses. All T mount, T2 Mount or M42 mount Lenses will fit perfectly
on this Adapter.»

Do you believe this? If the pitch is different how can it work? And
what about focusing?

I have a hard time understanding how an adapter be at the same time
compatible with T2 and M42 mounts, though they have the same diameter,
they have different pitchs.

I appreciate your help on this.

Cheers,

Carlos
