Hmm, I always thought it would not be possible to adopt a 39mm-screw-lens
to OM-Bayonett, because the OM bayonet has a larger Flange to Film Distance of
46.00 mm to only 28.80mm of the Leica 39mm screw fitting.

It would be impossible to focus to infnity. The 17.2mm offset would focus a 15mm
super wide over the 1:1 magnification-line.
