<< I am loathe to mention it, Cambridge Camera does sell an Olympus to Nikon
 adapter.  I think it has a 1 to 1.1 magnification factor to allow space for
 one mount bayoneting into the other because of the similar flange to film
 distances.  I only mention Cambridge to make a point and not to recommend
 them. >>

I looked into those adapters some time ago.  From what I recall they used an
optical element to correct for infinity focus -  which left me with serious
concerns about image quality degradation.   I decided I'd rather get an OM
2000 (after my 4 and 4ti quit) and maintain the quality of my Zuikos
unimpaired than to stick one of these cheap things on the end.

All the best,
