I've got the bits to do this with reversed lenses:
1. A 39mm to M42 step-up adapter
2. An M42 to 49mm reversing ring
3. Reverse mount a zuiko lens (with 49mm filter thread).
(1 and 2 are both in the "$5 from your local camera store's junkbox" category).
When reversing a Zuiko for macro, some clever fiddling with a rubber
band can keep the step-down lever in position. On many Zuiko
lenses it's easier to use a fairly strong rubber band around the whole
lens barrel to hold the DoF preview button down.
Works for me,
cjb.
