Hi,

I have used Olympus equipment for about ten years.  I use it almost
every day to document my work.  (I repair paintings as a profession, and
I need to make endless photographs to document my work.)  I like the OM
equipment a great deal, but I would like to buy a PC lense to make a
certain type of documentation photograph.  

The $600 to $750 price of an Olympus PC lense is not out of the
question, but I would hate to make that investment only to have the OM
system taken off the market shortly after I shell out that kind of money
for one lense.

My question is as follows:  Can an Olympus lens be adapted easily to
Nikon equipment, or would I be better off buying a Nikon PC lens and
adapting it to my existing Olympus equipment?
