My newly-acquired OM-Pen F adapter does just this. A bigger problem I see is
that the may need to 'wait' for some kind of electrical signals from the
lens mount inputs regarding focus and aperture stopdown before triggering
the shutter. Getting OM lenses to work with an interchangable-lens Olympus
digital camera is probably as much a software problem as a mechanical
problem.
