There are adapters available. Adorama has them. Because of the differing flange 
distances, the adapter has a slight negative element to maintain infinity 
focus. This is not a brilliant setup.

Someone has asked me if they can mount a 42mm screw-mount lens on an OM 
body.  I don't know of an option.  Does anyone know of a way to make this 
happen?

Also, are there any other options for mounting non-Olympus mount lenses on 
an OM body?

I'm assuming that auto-diaphragm would be non-functional in most cases, but 
am I wrong?
